I saw an ad on craigslist today for pontoon. The trailer was carrying a Jet Ski up front & tucked underneath the deck of the pontoon. Is there a trailer you can buy for this sort of application or would it be a custom job. Does anyone have a trailer like this and if so do you have pictures to post?

Here's a couple pictures he sent me. He said he bought it like that. Apparently the previous owner modified it. Anyone else have a similar setup?

Those trailers are custom-made. I've only seen 'em out west, never here in the east.
Gotta admit, they are pretty cool.

Not exactly the same, but here's a shot of a double-decker. They literally fold flat after launching the bottom boat.
I've toyed with the idea of making something like this to hold my jonboat and Seadoo....:D

I have seen them where the 'toon sits a little higher with 2 PWCs completely under it. Not sure if they were factory or custom as I did not get a chance for a close look. This would require you to launch the PWCs first. But a great way to get all your toys to the water at once.

Not the same thing, but my dad has a trailer that has a deck that raises vertically (hydraulic). This is a HEAVY DUTY trailer that he uses behind his motorhome. The bottom is mad for driving a car on and the part that raises can hold a boat, or it has deck plates so you can haulATV's or whatever. It is sitting in my yard right now. He used to haul a 16' Smokercraft with a 60 hp Johnson on top and a Jeep Grand Cherokee underneath. Attached is a picture of one like his.

Did you ever find one of these or attempt to build one? I am contemplating doing this exact thing. My trailer is for a 24 foot long pontoon and my boat is only 20 feet so I think I can do this pretty easily. My concern was what to do about the front piece of the trailer that the boat rests against. I see this person fabricated one on each side to free up the middle space....ingenious! Let me know if you tried this and have any pointers!
