Baller TallSkinnyGuy Posted July 29, 2017 Baller Share Posted July 29, 2017 I had never heard of this before until seeing this ad on Craigslist for an enclosed boat trailer: Enclosed boat trailer Actually a pretty cool idea for someone who has to park the boat outside and wants to protect it well. Anyone ever use one of these? Did it work well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller skibug Posted July 29, 2017 Baller Share Posted July 29, 2017 Pro bass fisherman use these all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller BrennanKMN Posted July 29, 2017 Baller Share Posted July 29, 2017 That is sweet, but something about backing an inclosed trailer into the water feels wrong. Even if it is designed for it. 5k for that is a killer deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller foxriverat Posted July 29, 2017 Baller Share Posted July 29, 2017 Neat idea but how do you wipe the boat down. Have to be very carefull loading on windy day. Hate to use the sides of trailer as guide poles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller DaveD Posted July 30, 2017 Baller Share Posted July 30, 2017 Hard to make everyone driving around you envious when the boat's hidden away in this trailer. :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Nando Posted July 30, 2017 Baller Share Posted July 30, 2017 Here's a consideration: in most (all?) and on interstate highways, if you're over 102" (8'6") wide, you're considered a wide load and probably need a permit. Most comp boats are either 95" or 96" wide and many wake boats are right at 102", so they're just barely legal. An enclosed trailer would need to be pretty tight...

Baller BrennanKMN Posted July 30, 2017 Baller Share Posted July 30, 2017 If I lived on a lake I'd love this thing. You put your boat on the lift in the spring and park it inside this during the winter. No need to take up garage space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller baja Posted July 31, 2017 Baller Share Posted July 31, 2017 Had a bone head friend who had an enclosed trailer built for 2 bone head jet skis. It cost 15 grand and was a royal PITA to launch and recover. I helped with that bone head nonsense one time then told him it wasn't worth the extra time and hassle to have his bone head jet skis available for use so he stopped coming to my place. I'm not sure why. If he had a 2018 ProStar I'd invite him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boat030 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 We do this with the race boat, the boat is on a "dolly trailer" where the wheels and fenders are tucked up underneath the boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ DW Posted July 31, 2017 Baller_ Share Posted July 31, 2017 Many enclosed snowmobile trailers are more difficult to load / unload when many sleds don't have reverse. Some trailers have provisions for front or rear loading / unloading. Enclosed trailers have been a trend over many decades for a variety of vehicles.
