^ Well thought-out design by a great industrial designer - does anyone known if the wheeled chassis had a power source of it's own ?

Were any actually produced, sold, or used???

Connections for the brakes and steering might be interesting.

A fanciful and expensive boat trailer.

I betcha some could sold today, as money for boats and boat stuff seems limitless.

I've seen that before, but I don't think I'd be willing to trust the interconnects between the buggy and the boat.

Red Green did something very similar, only he used a LOT of duct tape.

Make the buggy electric and drive by wire. Could probably be controlled with just a USB cable connecting the boat and buggy, Or skip the USB cable and use WiFi so the buggy could back down the ramp at the right time to meet you.

So once you drop the boat (it's got the seats and steering wheel) into the lake, how does one drive this well thought out design back up the ramp and into the car park?
Curious minds want to know?

Have it drive itself back up to park just like a Tesla driving itself to pick you up. Just make sure there aren't any aircraft parked in the way. The chassis needs power because that outboard isn't going to run very long without cooling water even if they figure out a way to drive the chassis from it.
