I think it is a GREAT idea! For the reasons posted above, plus more.

1. For those of us who arent really into drilling into the car and such.

2. When the boat tail is being worked on, it can be removed rather than have the car unusable.

3. If the boat tail blocks a usable hatchback or trunk, just remove the boattail to get access. This is one thing Ive been thinking about with the Celebrity, Ive thought about a removable hatchback shape but Id want to be able to use my trunk.

One thing to keep in mind is weight limits, check the tongue weight limits in the owners manual. However most boattails shouldnt be heavy enough to be concerned with, since one aspect of ecomodding is to reduce weight.
