<p>Yup. There are some trailers out there so equipped. I think it's a great idea and I wish they still offered it. I contacted Clackacraft and they said they discontinued the design. His quote -</p>
<p>"We couldn’t find a way to build the launch system to ship it out and went to a double roller on our trailers."</p>
