Unloading a boat from a trailer and launching it in the water has never appealed to me. There are different amphibious boats out there. But this wheelbarrow boat is probably the simplest amphibious boat I have seen.

Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire.

Jeremy, this reminds me of a unique atv trailer that I once saw. The trailer was a little John boat. Up front it had a dropping ramp that let the atv off. The atv could then tow the boat up after lowering the side wheels. Turn the boat around and there was a trailer hitch located behind the motor which became available once the motor was pulled up and turned sideways across the back.

The idea was that the trailer effectively made the little 4 wheeler amphibious.

I wish to win the lottery. I wish for a lovely piece of pie. And I wish for a tiny ad:
