Too many compromises already just to design a boat, let alone a camper boat.

I would have to worry about the axles and hitch being exposed all the time especially in a salt water environment. Then you have to carry an outboard motor w/ fuel which isn't going to give you much speed or distance to travel far. I'm not sure it's very practical for the American market.

Interesting idea.
Looks a little too confined for me.
Maybe better for the European market...they are used to small cars, apartments, confined spaces.

It's too cute as a camper to waste it as an unseaworthy tiny little boat.

It's almost like a fiberglass teardrop camper with a higher ceiling.

I do not really see anything that would make me buy one. I'd be better off with a fishing boat and tent. No comparison to a pontoon.

No thanks. This thing would be sitting on the bottom after the first 2 foot wave rolls in. Looks top heavy and very impractical.

My thoughts exactly... what happens when you get water over the bow and swamps the whole thing? Better off buying a boat with a cabin and sleeping in it.
probably roomer too!

Probably designed by the same people that did the failed Quadski.
Most people just don't want expensive mediocrity.
