Better then a typical tandem tow?

As seen in Ohio:

Hate to see the trip's fuel reciepts

 

[boatman37]

Obviously he is a retired mechanical engineer with tons of welding experience...

I guess you can take it with you

THAT........is........fantastic. (Slow clap)

Must have to be really careful to have the boat low on fuel.

That picture hurt my head

Makes me wonder what the accident report would have to say if there was a crash. Lots of unique load factors.

Think it would be easier with a 40' flat bed.

I'd like to see the loading and unloading......procedures.

I'll have to remember where this photo is in case the Admiral says we have too much $/time tied up in toys

Thanks for straightening that pic out oldjeep, that angle is pretty steep and way more apparent in that "level" pic..

Looks like the boat is on a trailer, but also looks like they had to take the tires off. Or maybe that is the rare yet silly reverse tilt trailer option!



Also gives my mind rise to some potential forum questions on some boating forum somewhere...


"Hey guys, I have been noticing a strong smell of fuel on my boat when I put the tires back on and take the cover off...."

"Can anyone recommend a gasoline proof boat cover that won't be affected after being immersed in fuel and also can keep a better seal against my bow so I can recover more of the fuel and not lose so much going down the road?"

(Hopefully this represents a one-time cross country move to save haulage costs!)

 

[oldjeep]

Looks pretty simple. Remove truck, boat frame pivots down to sit on axles for launching. likely on hydraulic rams.

 

[StarTed]

Beware of torrential rains.

Might increase the load.

 

[Maclin]

The boat may be acting as an airfoil, saving fuel.

And here it is if you want to get one of your own.
My dad had one for a while.
We towed a front wheel drive suv that wasnt flat towable and a small boat.
We got tired of messing with it and sold the trailer and traded the suv for a truck that was flat towable.
So now we pull the truck and small boat together.

Thanks Idlespeed, I have been enlightened, pretty cool.
