Looking for ideas for hauling my 12 ft. boat while towing my 26 ft. Arctic Fox. I keep going back to a lumber rack,but thinking there may be a better idea out there.Pictures would help.Truck is in my signature.
Thanks Mike

 

My boat is just a rowboat so it fits in the bed with the bumper pull trailer. I think mine is around 10' long, maybe a tad bit more than that. If I don't have the ATV in the toy hauler's garage I can put in there.

Otherwise, I suppose I could put a hitch on the back of the toy hauler and put the boat on my ATV trailer. It's light enough that it shouldn't be a problem. Getting a boat up on a bed rack by myself doesn't sound like a lot of fun but there are winch systems you can buy to help with that.

 

You're going to want to check restrictions on double towing. Many states limit the overall length (truck + trailer + trailer), here in Texas it is 65' and both trailers need to have brakes. Sounds like a lot but it isn't really.
Truck = 19'
RV = 26' (if the tongue length is part of the measurement)
Boat = 15'
You're already at 61'.

 

I've got a boat loader ,similar to an Edie. Check YouTube. I've also got a 26 arctic fox,a 26x

 

Double towing - especially with a bumper pull RV trailer - is my option of last resort. Where I tow the most, the length restrictions are 70' and 80' in Colorado and Wyoming, respectively.

 

Here what I did, need help getting it up and down. The rack only set me back $150.00.

 

Rear Boat Loader ? Load-it ? Recreational Vehicle Loading Systems

 

I really like fishing, but maybe not that much. Loading mine into the bed works fine and didn't cost me more than $15 for some foam pads to keep the boat rails from scratching the tailgate.

 

That's how mine works. Bought it off CL. Too large to fit in bed,and I need room for more stuff.
