The area I want to improve is the flat front part of the trailer. I was thinking just a round fairing below the boat kind of like this trailer

Any suggestions?
If you can find John Gilkison's You-Tube videos, he's done one on Tesla's pulling trailers and has phantom images of fairings developed by NASA, at Edward's Air Force Base in the 1970s, for a variety of trailer combinations.
