When I was fishing tournaments in the 90,s a few guys ran enclosed trailers. I am out of the tournament deal now, was wondering if anybody used these anymore?? We're these a custom deal of was it a brand of trailer. Thanks.

Flash from the past!
The enclosed trailers looked cool and would secure your boat/electronics/tackle but also held allot of moisture and became a mold factory. Launching & loading your boat was also a PIA especially by yourself. The Hibdon's also had there double stack bass boat trailer then where they could tournament travel together in one truck.
I have a photo somewhere on my computer of an empty enclosed boat trailer. Seems like it would be a good idea for someone who stored their boat outside.

Great pic. Thanks!! Gotta show the Mrs that?? I retire in a few years and they might be the deal... On a smaller scale... 14 ft tin boat on top, Ford fiesta below.
I believe this was a rainbow trailer. Have not seen one in a while. I am pretty sure they are no longer in building them. I think Clunn used to run a double trailer as well so if one broke he had a back up boat. I wanting to see a toy hauler but with a bass boat in the back.

Also used to have hard covers on hydraulics that stayed on the trailer. Lift cover up and drive boat off. Solid fiberglass? shell covering the boat.

Used to be here in the northeast a toyhauler/ camper. Had the boat in the back like enclosed trailer, camper up front. Was a 5 th wheel. Was very cool. Was owned by a bass fishing magazine here in the northeast.

Fished the Northern Div of the FLW back in the day with my Sooner enclosed boat trailer. Sold it to a Triton guy in WA state. Was fun.
