we need a mini beer in his hand as well. Maybe he can fish in the tub as well!
Another brilliant addition a mini-bar :smt002 or a keg tap :beer2
If I can back the sucker close enough to the lake I'll need rod holders on the HOT TUB :smt003 :smt002

OMG I CANT STOP LAUGHING!!!!!!!!  :smt005 :smt005 :smt005 :smt005 :smt005

The hot tub will obviously have to be transported empty  :smt003.  I like the mini bar idea, maybe a big screen tv on the back of the loft too.  We can watch movies while we soak with cocktails in hand!

Tote is right, the tounge weight would be too high.  The sleeping loft could be moved to the back and a larger door added for kayak hatch and loft access, or moved to the middle.  The other alternative is to move the axles.

This may work better, more aerodynamic, adds more covered storage, and looks cooler.  Front hatches or a front door would allow front storage and kayak access.  For the rear door, double swing out doors may work the best.

Hi Tad, those were done on Microsoft Visio drafting software.  I use it for simple and quick draw-ups.  Easy to use and doesn't take long to learn on.  You can do some nice scale diagrams with it, and it is easy to modify and change.

I also use AutoCAD, when I need better detail and scale; but it takes a lot longer and you have to plot points.  I use it mainly with the Leica total station system, and import the cloud data into the program.  It works great for accident reconstruction, drafting and construction plans.  You can pull measurements and angles from it to use in equations.

Both work really well.

I've always liked the idea of the hydraulic lift on this kayak trailer.
