I always wanted to build a single-unit boat transporter. Front of a Toronado, rear of a boat trailer.
Something like this?
I think that Trailer Life or another boating magazine did a review of one of these Ford powered F-350 vans. It was converted with a 4X4 front axle, and is front wheel drive only. IT has something like 150 cubic feet of storage between the nose of the boat and van body.
Yes you could use a FWD Toranado or ElDorado. However the cab would be pretty low, and the front axle weight rating is not all that high. The 5,000 pound rating of a E-350 with a solid front 4X4 axle from a F-350 is used.
