I can’t imagine that working real well on the river with current. Or a windy day. But yes! If they make it people will definitely buy them. I used to think who the hell would spend 10 grand on an ice house when the first Ice Castles came out. Now people are buying $70,000 snow bears to ice fish out of.

Those Snobears are over $100k now...just crazy!

$70,000 must be a used piece of shit.

Try $130,000

Clean boat all the time. No dust. Leave you stuff out without worry. Certainly a few upsides. Current would suck. Need good vents to dry out. Pulls hard I’m sure. Overall neat concept but only for a few.

If you can afford a 150000.00 boat. The 70000.00 trailer should not be a deal breaker.

Pretty sure some people fish other things besides rivers.

I love he idea but damn I would think it would it be a bitch to load in the wind. Sure would be nice never having to tarp, no dust, no dirt, no rock chips, everything very secure. Kinda surprised they don't make them as a V-nose. Could set it up with lockers for gear, rods, etc. along the roof and upper sides where it doesn't get wet. Needs a good power vent system to air out humidity, for those that fish later in the year, maybe a heater like the sled trailers to dry everything out. Also dubs as your garage so don't have to worry about your boat not fitting in your garage, lol. As far as pulling hard, any of the current crop of diesels wouldn't even know it's back there. I tow a 29' enclose sled trailer with full tools, gear, and 5 mountain sleds out west and we've towed with all of the big 3 diesels multiple times and zip through MT faster than we probably should. The trucks don't care in the slightest. I could see this being really great for some pro fisherman.

With that said, they would have to be built very well to last. Aluminum is awesome as it doesn't rust but it still corodes, is more brittle than steel and so it has it's own issues with rough roads and cracked welds. My steel enclosed trailer is starting to show it's wear and that's considering it gets washed after every single trip often times the day we get back, is stored indoors 90% of the year, and has probably only made 20-30 trips (15k-20k miles). I don't see one in my future, but can certainly see the benefit.

One note on my V nose comment, they have like a 2 ft V. maybe the shield trailers are better, but every short nose V pulls like shit as they seem to buffer back and forth in the wind. The 4-6 ft V seem to pull so much nicer.

dumb

Insanity.

There should be a wench attached to a drotto latch device where you can drive on, click, and wench.

Next level to that, part of the floor with the rollers or with bunks will slide out into the water so you can load in current. Think roll-back tow truck bed function, but for a boat trailer. Could probably make the slide-out floor modular so you could have a "double-decker" sled trailer in the winter when the boat is in storage. Swap out "modules" like a roll-off dumpster-truck swaps dumpsters.

And yes, longer V-nose w/Genset, heater/AC, along w/some HVAC in the trailer to manage moisture. Might as well have the trailer wired so the Genset can charge the boat batteries and power some good lights in/out side the trailer, maybe a bait fridge and commercial ice-maker while you're at it. Tool storage and a Big air compressor to run tools for the off-road folks.

The biggest challenge with all of that isn't coming up with features people would LOVE to have in a trailer. The challenge isn't even the engineering to make all of the hydraulics, winches etc work. The biggest challenge is, who's your market to be able to sell more than 1 series?

1. Retirees with a lot of $$$?
2. Pro fishermen/snowmobile/off-road vehicle racers?
3. Powersports dealers with a giant ego?

You'll get a sub-set of all 3 of the above to bite early, but, how do you continue to sell product after the initial "ego buyers" have bought?

There should be holes in the floor also, water drainage

One way scuppers maybe. Holes will = shitload of dust.

A friend pointed this out. An aquatic nuisance species NIGHTMARE!!

Tight quarters to wipe off all the water spots and keep the boat sparkly.
