I'm looking forward to towing my boat with the boat tail in place to see how it effects towing mileage, and I might try an articulated panel on either side since the side of boat is so smooth and steady for roller surfaces.
I know it's your last priority, or not at all, but when you get this combination dialed in it would be great to do a paint job with some graphics that really made the two vehicles look like one unit. Just thinking out loud.

I'll try next Saturday for 'turn' photos.I think I have something.Never trust my memory anymore though.
And yes,wouldn't it be nice to do color-matched paint,matched body moldings and pin-stripes?
I did do some wet-sanding on a portion of the hulls acrylic lacquer, down to 1,200 grit, and hit it with 3M mico-fine finishing compound.Just like glass!
