Troat, Basic description
A "Troat" is a trailer towed behind a car or truck. The Troat is
launched into the water by backing the vehicle and trailer as a
a recreational boat would be launched. Once the trailer is floating,
it is kept in place by "spuds." (Pikes or poles that are run through the
deck of a floating vessel and hold it in place) The car or truck then
drives up and onto the trailer. The car or truck is engaged so that it becomes
the engine, house/structure of the vessel. The spuds are then lifted and
the boat can now motor on the water.
A Troat can be used for search and rescue, law enforcement, and marine
ambulance. A floating food truck, recreational, and a water taxi.
Anything a boat could be used for. With the ability to convert instantly
into a land vehicle.
During flooding events that are predicted to only get worse due to
climate change, the advent of Troats will save many lives.
