Check this out - a company has created a teardrop-ish trailer that is also a little boat! Perfect for the inner Noah in you who's always worried about flooding.

Here's an article on it

A projected price of $20,000 and not even a galley? great idea though.I'm not sure how it would do in the white caps that are the norm here in Kansas.

cool, i thought about a used pontoon boat, just back the trailer onto it and away you go.

Thats funny
My son posted the link to the video on my FB page and my wife commented that I was probally out in the shop building some pontoons now.

Here I am about to launch my floating teardrop:





I'm JOKING.



Seriously, though..

That's a camp wagon body (made to a teardrop floorplan) thrown together quickly to haul camping gear.
The chassis is custom-made, and the teardrop body is next on the list to be built.
