Posts: 4,118 Northfield Mn | I don't think my Suburban has enough power to pull Karl's trailer... With a single boat I've towed it with my four cylinder, GMC Canyon as far as Omaha. It was a little sketchy, and 5th gear was rarely used. Not enough power, suspension, or brakes to really call it safe. The ultimate plan is to build a sort of collapse-able camper that'll nest under the back boat. Just flip the panels up, toss the roof on, and have a dry 8x8 place to sleep at regatta's. Gotta scrape up the funds for my monster sail box first though.
I'm boatless.

Posts: 4,118 Northfield Mn | I've looked at those too. The thought I had was using a pop-up that goes in the back of a pickup on my trailer. Reason being you could slip the hulls where the bed rails of a pickup would normally be. I hadn't pulled any numbers, the floor might be too wide to do it, but might not be a big thing for them to make a narrower floor either. I'm not sure how I'd tie a rack in then.... or, just do something like this, with the pop-up on the front. Whole reason I went with a flatbed in the first place was so a big butt sail box would protect the bottom boat completely from anything the tow vehicle kicks up. (edit)- Another thing I've been considering is getting on of the hard side pop up trailers, then just throwing the boat on the roof of that. I've got a feeling those are ridiculously/prohibitively expensive
