If you ask him he would say 12 or 13 maybe 15.

Accounting for the value of his toys, I don’t think he cares��

I can only guess he has ramp extensions for the rear and a winching system to pull it up.

I don’t think that length would be legal in any state.

That's awesome! American creativity at it's finest! I love it!

I do wonder how tall he is though. The fifth wheel is probably around 13 feet 4 or 6 inches at least.....

Watch out for low overpasses, for sure!

Fuel economy for the boat? Or do you mean the four wheeler in the trailer?

I wonder what state he lives in that allows him to string all of that together.

I am sympathetic with the notion, though. I live in a state that doesn't allow double towing, which I would do if I could. I would tow a much smaller boat for fishing and have wondered about a similar setup so I could take a boat with me.

Where is the crane to pick the boat off the bed of the truck?
How do they get the boat up there?
I don’t see any pine tree forests in the background of the photos so they are not East Texas hillbillies.

They must have some sort of ramp and winch system.

This is rated for 2500Lb; not enough for that boat.

Scary just to think about driving down the road like that. Has to be 15' clearance.
