Just when you thought that everything had been invented!
Hit the road...And the water!

The initial concept
of the FLOAT TRAILER was to allow ATV and boating enthusiasts to transport
their Boat and ATV in the same package. In the province of Ontario,
with thousands of kilometers of roads and over 400,000 lakes, imagine what you can do with a trailer that can
be used as a boat and vice versa! The company representatives
witnessed an overwhelming, positive response to the Float Trailer through
several trade shows in the spring of 2007. The only model available
at that time, the FT 1454 proved itself in the Canadian North at
remote fishing lodges, private cottages, hunt camps and local fire
departments. But, the true versatility of
this vessel became clear when you could actually see people envisioning themselves in the driver's seat and rolling down their road or skimming
across their lake...
People are amazed how easily the Float Trailer
1454 is launched
in and out of the water by either automobile or ATV. Well
proportioned for stable, safe towing on the highway and yet handles surprisingly
boat-like in the water.
Featuring high ground clearance and
fully independent
suspension, it travels over roads that many other boat and trailer
combinations cannot. This floating trailer is a durable, high quality alternative
to both thin walled, riveted aluminum boats, and steel/wood constructed
utility trailers.

This original size model is
ideal for transporting a single ATV and a whole lot more. Built initially
with the hunter/outdoorsman in mind it's easy to see how it may replace the dog as man's best friend... Put to the test in the wild
waters of Ontario's north, owners could not believe that a 25 HP engine
put this craft on top of the water with ease carrying 2 or 3 passengers.
With incredible capacity and very shallow draft for it's size, the FT 1454
is a great value.

If the FT 1454 is the
"mule" of the family, then the FT 1600 is the "work
horse". With the same amazing stability as the shorter version the FT
1600 delivers more payload with a bit more punch! With the added length of
this model we were able to offer the option of jet power - perfect for
those that run shallow and/or rocky rivers and lakes.

You've met the "mule"
(FT 1454) and the "work horse" (FT 1600), now let's introduce
you to the "clydesdale" of the family. The FT 1966 is a serious
piece of work. With enough floorspace to handle an ARGO or 2 ATV's, the
FT 1966 has an incredible beam of 92". Despite the shear size of this
model, it has the ability to "plane out" with as little as a 35
HP outboard motor!
