I notice they opened the video with a graphic that said "the lake".

You get that out in blue water and they will be looking for it next to
El Faro.

There was a thread going on one of the real boat boards about a guy
who modified his pontoon so he could park his camping trailer on it
and go out on the lake. I saw some early experiments and then I lost
track of the project. I seem to remember he launched the boat, then
nosed it up to the ramp and rolled the trailer on (using ramp ramps).

I don't know if he went happily on with his life or it failed.

If you do that kind of project without some knowledge of naval
architecture, you are asking for a whole boat load of trouble. Red
neck engineering will only get you so far.
