Take all of those panels, doors, covers and checker plate off the bottom section and you've got heaps more load carrying capacity.

It has some potential.
The top section looks like a better take on the old 'roof top tent over a normal boat trailer' idea that we've seen a few times.
A slightly lighter boat trailer would be a better idea too. After all, it's the main trailer doing all of the Ks, the boat trailer would only be doing short trips to the ramp and back in most cases.

I would be building a very comfy bunk in that boat. Getting up top might not be an option some nights when the wobbly boot is on.

Problem I see is the boat won't fit between the props on the overhead tent area.
You can check for yourselves. 
But the photo's appear to show an inabilty to load and unload the boat and trailer once the main trailer top story is fully set up.
Just sayin.

I saw the prototype at our local camping show. What a heap of Shit! A car trailer, surrounded by an aluminium clad box, with a roof that you set up a tent on underneath a laserlight sheet. Mossy admitted it was a heap of Shit and the production ones would be much better but with all the setup effort involved I didn't really see the point.
