ABSTRACT:
A combination trailer and pontoon boat is disclosed in which the supporting wheels are attached to the boat by a confining track. This provides for the controlled launching and landing of the boat while the supporting wheels are fixed in place on dry land. Ramps permit the loading of the towing vehicle onto the boat while both are on dry land. A towing structure moves beneath the boat during loading and off-loading of the tow vehicle and is then pivoted upward in the waterborne mode. The supporting wheels are winched from their position beneath the boat rearward and upward along the confining track in the waterborne mode. The combination trailer and pontoon boat is a towable, one vehicle ferry.
