Thumbs up maybe coolest towable boat ever? I don't know...

I found these little guys the other day:
http://www.admiraldrive.com/float_overview.html
They have retractable wheels and tow bar that turn them into their own trailer, and have a drop front with enough room and weight capacity to tow and then float an ATV or a few dirt bikes to a campsite and then drop them right at the shore. Outboard engine? check. Available console? check. Not ever having to worry about a separate trailer for any of your toys? Amazomatic.

you could fit most side by sides on the 20' long one. I was looking at the medium sized one to tow with my 2nd gen 4runner. I decided I'm going with a front-and-rear or 2-up setup of an ATV to fit on a more moderately sized boat. I was thinking of getting a duroboat 14 footer, but I feel like I should just save the money, and man up on this guy eventually. I could also get a kawasaki KLR 650 to match my buddy's and the lil woman can ride on the back of that too. Sure makes for one hellova fishing trip tho, doesnt it? I'm drooling just thinking about it!

More manufacturer pics of awesomeness:



They also have another version with no retractable wheels and that requires a trailer. I'd just buy a duroboat, but its probably cool to others:

That thing reminds me of a mini version of the amphibious landers used in WWII!

That is really cool. The Duroboat looks like an inexpensive option. I'm in the market for a small boat like that.
