Niner: Good idea about making it a two part tail. I have put 8' lumber in my car before, and would like to be able to put 10' or 12' in

I was thinking that I could make it so the top part of the boat tail was lexan or Plexiglas and have that run on the top hinge (currently used for the glass part of the hatch). The rest would be attached to the other part of the hinge and to the trailer hitch.

If I do it right I might be able to just extend out the trailer hitch and still use it (not a good idea)

Yes I do have my dad's truck to pull the trailer with, or I could take the boat tail off.

Like I said before, all mods must be reversible

now if I could find some time to draw up what I was thinking...
