"Different" is an understatement. That's bizarre.

Ain't never seen a trailer like that. And it floats?

Ya that's just what I need. I got enough trouble tryin to get the boat on a trailer that don't move ...?

My trailer is light enough to float without the boat on it.  It actually makes it quite easy to land the boat as I can move the trailer left-right as needed. 

Of course, being a Glastron owner, I am fussy about my boat.  I don't power it on to the trailer.  I wade out in the water and carefully pull it up by hand.   ;D

Here's another floating trailer in Council Bluffs, IA.  I Googled trying to learn more about floating trailers and found this old thread.
