I was farting around sketching some on an idea for a boattail that i will never build for my car.
Since i will never build this thing, i thought i would see if anyone here has had any similar ideas.
One of the issues with building a boattail is access to the back of the car through the hatch.
Here is an idea that allows a full size bicycle to be loaded into the back of the car without lifting the bike overhead.
Instead of building a larger hatch and attaching it to the original hatch mounting points, this hatch simply lifts off with four quick fasteners.
If needed, two support beams can then be released and slid to the side, again with quick fasteners.
This allows full access to the back 'trunk/boot' of the car .
