Pickup Topper's Also A Fishing Boat
"It's handier than a regular fishing boat since you don't have to tow it," the manufacturer points out.
Called the Tip Topp, it's made of modified plastic and is available for all full-size 1/2 and 3/4-ton pickups. Weighs 185 lbs. and measures 14 in. high. Hinges at the front for easy loading and retrieving of cargo, and for tilting beyond the locked position to accommodate tall cargo.
"It's equipped with built-in styrofoam sheets for flotation stability and safety," the manufacturer points out. "Two adults can fish side by side on one side, or at one end, without tipping it. If you do a lot of fishing, you can set the 'boat' in the pickup bed in the 'up' position, leaving the seats and your fishing gear intact."
Comes with a built-in metal motor mount (up to 5 hp) and in a standard white color which you can paint to whatever color you choose.
Sells for $655, not including optional swivel seats for fishing.
