It seems Mike might be getting his shop class to enclose his trailer.  With that in mind, let's see some photos of your trailers.  What are some of your design criteria for your ideal ice boat trailer?

Here are a few of mine needs in a trailer:
-shorter and narrower than my car
-all boat parts are accessible without removing something else
-all boat parts, including the runners are in (on) the trailer
-includes a plank to get on the ice
-has room for an additional boat or two strapped on top.
-I am torn on side entry versus rear entry, but if it side entry the door should be wider than the boat is long, so you don't have to thread the boat into the trailer
-big tires, possibly the same size as your vehicle
-flag pole.  You have to fly your colors!

Now to find the time to build one this summer.  The trailer George and I have is great, but with two opti's in the family a four boat trailer would be nice.  We will see what the summer brings.
