Still in the prototype stage, but it is interesting.
ALL you PDB magazine haters, don't go into a rant.

Being able to cover the boat with the push of a button sure has my attention. I just hope the production version doesn't make me want to claw my eyes out like this abortion.

It reminds me of the hard roll-up pickup bed covers..

(which are not 'my thing' either)
The cover looks like it would be convenient and it might even help with towing aerodynamics but the overall appearance looks like you are driving a stock car..

Heck with the cover. If I was that guy, I'd find out why that little 50hp OB is so damn loud.

I bet the cost is higher than the cost of a pontoon boat. You would need to be careful that it did not snag on anything. I think that I'll pass on this.

Looks like a PITA if you trailer, getting in and out from the trailer.
No rear entry.
Forget about a trolling motor

Concept has some merit. Worst part of the boating day is screwing around with the mooring cover and crawling around to set the support poles.
