Hi Mark and All, You have several options. First make a v shaped fairing
just large enough to hide the boat behind coming back to beside the windshield
with the trailing part pointing straight aft or very slightly inward.Likely
need a top again coming back to just above the windshield, lower in front and
all placed with plastic sheet like shower stall sides on a light wood frame
glued with Locktite waterproof PL3. .In fact needs water to cure and I used it
to fix a hole in my dinghy while in the water being used!! The trailer wheels
need pants or similar fairing, just a lot smaller.The axle fold over a piece of
thin alum sheet most of the way then fit it over the axle and tape the 2 ends
with double sided tape fair it nicely.Are tires best, lowest resistance,
highest pressure? Syn axle bearing lube? A chloroplast or other sheet for the
underside of the trailer. Are the lights, plate in the airstream?Wilder options
is a larger shape behind it 2.5' long with very rounded front corners and
from widest part gently curving back inward a ' then cut off sharply.Another is
same size but a U shaped airfoil with the same outside curve of the larger
shape.And see what weight you can get rid of in the trailer, EV and boat.This
should get about 50% of the lost range back.Jerry Dycus

Hi Folks
When I tow my 6x16 H20 ski boat 1480lbs behind the 3600lb Bolt or 4400lb Tesla,
watt-hours doubles and associated range is cut in half
