I have a canvas covered jet boat that I trailer.. Though not for extended off road it affords a great deal of flexibility as I can carry deflated pontoon boats and other gear inside it. I originally purchased Yak Tracks installed topside, thinking I might carry inflatable pontoon boats up there. For me anyhow, that proved to be too much trouble. It was okay where I was using it but added weight when overnighting when I wasn't. Your comment about trailers being a road anchor is on the mark and a valid concern. There is no perfect tool. Net of it is if you are going to an off grid mountain lake the trailer is a issue. Over time having tried Yak Top and also a trailer, I now mostly travel with a small inflatable frameless one bag boat. I have removed most of the back crew cab seat (left jump seat) and limit gear to as much as I can carry there. I only use the jet boat when going to easy highway access able destinations or where it can be staged, then do an off grid circuit and return. There are some good off road trailers with great ground clearance but I decided that would be limiting and a turn around problem for me. After trying it all, I settled in on cab storage and uncluttered FWC. Keep it simple and keep it light. If I don't find myself using something, I don't carry it. Whatever you start with will change with personal experience. Have fun!
