I would still need a dolly to move it but there are companies that make dollies for sunfish type sailboats that would get you to the waters edge. RMI don't have one for a boat. Great way to do it.
I like the concept for small boats. With a rack, you could fit two or more.I would still need a dolly to move it but there are companies that make dollies for sunfish type sailboats that would get you to the waters edge. RM
Never had or used a toy hauler.My wife Heather and I just returned from Tulsa OK with a new ATC PLA 450 series toy hauler. Just enough room for a small sneak boat; 11'7" available length inside. If I'm not mistaken the Devlin Broadbill should fit perfectly. Anyone else who uses a toy hauler to transport their duckboat?View attachment 67875

But the last couple of campers I have had. I installed a hitch to the rear bumper. So I could pull my boat as well.
Did a lot of out of state duck/deer hunting that way.
I bet backing the boat down a small ramp was TOUGH! Kind of like backing a train up except no tracks.![]()
Thanks, I am hoping that there isn't too much to fix. We made it home after nearly 1,000 miles and I can find nothing that rattled apart. An audacious beginning perhaps?That's a sharp looking rig, RM.
For what it's worth, that is illegal in AL. If it weren't, my camper would have a hitch on the back also.But the last couple of campers I have had. I installed a hitch to the rear bumper. So I could pull my boat as well.

Are those wood or aluminum framed?Thanks, I am hoping that there isn't too much to fix. We made it home after nearly 1,000 miles and I can find nothing that rattled apart. An audacious beginning perhaps?

Illegal in Minnesota as well.For what it's worth, that is illegal in AL. If it weren't, my camper would have a hitch on the back also.
According to the manufacturer there is no wood or wood composite used anywhere.Are those wood or aluminum framed?
Trailers are like boats, you always need one more or one less. Had a great flatbed tilt trailer for my tractor when we lived in a more rural area. Loved it and used it often, but often wanted an enclosed trailer. When we moved back into town amd I sold my tractor, I also sold my trailer and bought a 14' enclosed aluminum trailer. Love it for my (small) cars, mobile clay thrower, and for moving stuff around, but wish for my flatbed from time-to-time.I have a small toy hauler that I intended to do stuff like this. Very similar but yours is much nicer. I have a Pacific Coachworks 24FSB. No slideouts as it is basic as basic can be. Everything is modular and I can get a ton of crap in it. I can easily get my kayak in it. Generally I was taking a ton of decoys and field hunting. It was nice to get out of weather and have something comfortable to be in. I never really have used it like I intended too though. Its nice and small. I can get it anywhere as my duckboat is the same length towing off the hitch to give that any kind of reference. Honestly though.... im looking for a shorter 5th wheel and just going to double pull. Laws here are it has to be a 5th wheel, and has to have trailer brakes. Double hitch pulling is illegal where i live. Once life slows down a bit, I think ill trade this towards just that. I think im out on toy haulers for hunting and fishing.
I love it for the occasional camping trip the woman and I take. There is nothing better getting above 10k feet and finding a trout stream up in the rockies somewhere away from the world. Its an added bonus when you get to somewhere with no cell service. I LOVE those trips. Theres nothing better than having a nice little shelter to get out of the rain in or to get up and make coffee in on those mornings. But just dont do it enough. When I bought the trailer, i thought for sure I was going to be stuffing goose decoys and living out of it in a field most weekends. Didnt ever really happen though. Now with a vehicle that can double pull, just want a 30-35 foot fifth wheel (would still be about the same distance bumper to bumper length wise as what I have now) and have the ability to double pull a side by side or a boat somewhere. Seems to make a lot more sense than be limited to what im doing now.Trailers are like boats, you always need one more or one less.

This is our rig. The auto loader allows me to leave base camp. First year for this boat hauler. Had ND in mind but I think for me anyway their new out of state rules has me looking for options.My wife Heather and I just returned from Tulsa OK with a new ATC PLA 450 series toy hauler.
