Looking to buy a boat trailer? Here are three of the most important factors to consider before making your final choice!
If you manage a boat yard then you know that a reliable boat trailer is necessary to the success of your business. Here are things to consider before investing in a new boat trailer.
It is important to take into account the boat’s wet weight, not it’s dry weight. Dry weight refers simply to the weight of the boat’s hull and motor. A boat’s wet weight includes such things as water, oil, fuel, safety equipment and anchors. These add to the boat’s actual weight during operation. The trailer you choose should have a weight limit greater than the boat’s wet weight.
Choose one that is at a minimum 2 feet longer than your boat. Importantly, you do not need to take into account the swim platform on a boat when determining its length.
Look for a trailer designed and built with the correct types of keel support for handling powerboats, sailboats or catamarans. You can check out a variety of boat trailers here.
