Anyone notice that original aluminum exterior TDs also have aluminum interior walls.....???

That's a pretty good price for the Tow-n-Row. I'd consider buying one if I could get it here. Even though it is empty inside, that just opens up the interior for customization.

It looks like it is built on a HF frame.

You want another trailer?

Maybe someday I can catch up to Gage.

Rocky, I'll be going thru Tacoma on Thursday. I can get it as far as Portland for you.

Now I have to get it another 2300mi closer.

$4000 for a fiberglass shell and tiny boat on a $200 trailer is a good price ? Wow, I must be way out of touch.

Overall, the concept is pretty good for a cargo style trailer carrying a boat on it. Just the outside is shaped differently than a box and the doors are on the small side for cargo capability. And the cost, yah I'd have to agree, way up there.

I think I'd rather have the extra space above rather than have a boat, meaning take the boat concept and integrate it to the trailer as the roof, making it non-removable. This provides a much large interior volume and storage capabilities. I know my wife would prefer space to put on pants .....maybe even add a roof ac unit.....
Rather than perform total interior customization, I would like to see some interior fiberglass blanks to install. But how would the interior blanks be attached to the walls and ceiling? Floor is plywood so that's a given.

In the pics and their web site (http://www.towrowtrailers.com/), it doesn't tell how thick the walls are. But, in one of the Ebay pics with the rear door open, it's obvious the door is 1/2" or more thick. Insulated?

This all-fiberglass trailer reminisces the old TD concept. I like it, but cost for what it is and it's capabilities is way high. Go about 1/2 price and make double sales or more.

Here in the KC, this year at the RV show, Little Guy was there with a local salesman/distributor. They offered their 4x8 fiberglass TD for $3950. Whereas on Ebay, Yoter Toter gets ~$2200 for the 4x8, which is about 1/2 price.

I think the buy it now price is just for Ebay $$. I was emailing the builder last December and he was selling them for 2500-2800 range, doubt they have gone up that much. I did see one camping, with the interior done up and they are very cool.....

I wonder if they are just testing the water, 'cause somebody... Was it you Jim?
... Posted a craiglist thing that had 'em listed for 2,975.00 or somewhere around there.
I think Dan's option is a much better way to go, if one is still to be had.

Isn't there another trailer/boat that has storage for the outboard in the fornt? I thought it was the trailerboat but apparently not.

Indeed, this Trailerboat photographed by Nick does - though I don't know if that was a trade name or not:

Andrew, That is similar to the one I was thinking about. It had a closet for the outboard.

How does one find the Trailorboat forum at MSN? A basic search through Yahoo and Google didn't turn up the link.

I'll be home on R&R in June. I might want to check one out. Who knows what could happen? It would make a fun companion to my Little Guy.

Thanks for the link. They look pretty cool. Pity there are likely none anywhere near Mississippi. I'd definitely jump to get one of them.
