Az - what kind of work do you have in mind for this trailer ?

I have a tandem trailer with walking beam. Not that big but we. Haul an entire moose in it and can tow it over very rough terain. Going to install tracks this year so it's legal in a track only area. The guides on the tracks look like pre 96 max stuff. Looks well built.

I have no doubt that this is stupid but it looks like a fold out camper?

Looks badass for $1000. The tires look a little overkill but nice trailer.

I plan to use it for hauling my ice fishing gear around, when I go I like to camp on the ice for a couple days so I need to bring quite a bit of stuff.

That would be a cool idea .A little pop up tow behind with tracks.

Is it amphibious, not sure if the corners look like they are sealed. I just picked up an otter ice sled for $100 to take stuff to the cabin and it worked great behind the max.

That trailer would be great if you had stuff you needed to lock up, but seems like too much money otherwise. This looks like it may float if you dont overload it.

I've built several that are similar, very nice units. Steal of a deal at $1000.
We tried running tracks on them a couple times but never had much luck. In the conditions we ride. Tracks on the trailer make it harder to pull, and turn. No obvious advantages to us.
For that price, I would take it, drop the tracks, and put a set of ATV tires on it.

it looks like it is well thought out trailer, but like rockdoc, I would maybe put a set of atv tires on it to help with flotation and to have a spare in case something bad happens.

UPDATE: atv trailer pictures by azz7772 - Photobucket well i bought it apparrantly a geologist owned it and it was customized to be a pop up tent but the canvas part was missing so i removed most of the plywood as well as the lift off alluminum top and it is now super light it has 17 inches ground clearance. it also has a hitch reciever on the back of it which could be handy for a number of things.

thanx everyone for your opinions and experience it is nice to have a bunch of people to consult in these kinds of matters
