Safaris Rule!
Want to bring your boat but need to pull your camper too?

I think Lone Star boats were locally made.

Seems it would have been a lot easier to hook the boat to the rear of the camper, and run them as doubles. I've pulled my camper up to Norwalk with the pit vehicle hooked on a trailer to the camper before. Wife was driving the GTO with the enclosed 10X6 T shirt trailer behind me.......
 He likely used the winch on the trailer to pull the trailer up a pair of planks onto the roof of the car. After pulling the boat onto the trailer, and tying the boat down to the trailer, the winch would make perfect sense to use, the planks could be stored in the camper. People were a lot more resourceful 50-60 years ago. Common sense, was still common. You should see the looks I get using my 05 GTO to pull car dolly with a car on it. Even just pulling the enclosed trailer behind my GTO, I get comments from people. You don't have to have a truck just to pull a trailer, but nowadays everyone seems to think you do. When I was young, there was a guy that lived in my neighborhood In Erie PA, that had a fifth wheel attached to the roof of his 67 ford country squire wagon, and hauled a camper with it. Where there's a will, there's a way......  There's always this guy too:  I wouldn't call this common sense, more wishful thinking than anything. That would be downright scary at any speed over 10 MPH. He must have looked at a semi rig, and said sure I can pull a big trailer with my S 10 just like the big rig guys do.........  If he turned the thing, the front corners of the trailer would hit the roof of the S 10.

One of my favorites.
The engine from the car was transferred to dragster to race and then back to the car for the trip home.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
