Great idea but a bit hard getting the boat on the trailer letalone sitting in the beach.
Duane when you get yours we'll see how it goes

Duanne,
I have seen this product. Actually, if you search you tube there are a few videos there.
They claim you lose a half knot of boat speed when traveling 7.
Pretty pricey. I think they start at $6 or $7,000.00.
Looks like a nice piece of gear though.

This could be very nice on a boat that lives in the water - but I cannot see launching and recovering a Mac from the trailer, with that on the bow. I'm quite convinced that you'd have to use a Travelift.
