Their smaller size makes them much more affordable than the average roller trailer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bunk trailers support the boat’s keel with boards, also known as “trailer bunks”, that run down the sides of the trailer. Typically, the “bunks” are protected by soft, felt-like fabric that makes it easier to <strong>slide the boat off of the trailer<\/strong> and place it directly into the water. The felt also helps prevent scratches in the hull of the boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"pros\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pros<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Simple to use and have few working parts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Minor maintenance required<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>More affordable than other boat trailers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"cons\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cons<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Must be submerged in deeper water to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ezloader.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">load and unload the boat<\/a> (could lead to corrosion)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Getting the boat off the trailer can be challenging on shallow ramps or at low tides<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"roller-trailers\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Roller Trailers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Roller trailers support the boat’s weight with multiple cylindrical pieces of plastic, which helps “roll” the boat into the water as you back down the ramp. Roller trailers, which <strong>don’t have to be submerged as deeply as bunk trailers,<\/strong> are ideal for putting your boat in the water at a shallow ramp or at low tide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Usually, drivers of roller trailers back the boat into the water.

You must also consider legal requirements for hauling, heavy-duty materials, weighting, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don’t leave yourself unprepared at the boat ramp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"boat-type-and-size\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Boat Type and Size<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When trying to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trailersusa.com\/list\/inventory?type=boat+trailer\" target=\"_blank\">buy a trailer for your boat,<\/a> the first thing you need to consider is the size of your boat. Start by classifying the type of boat you want to haul according to boat class (Class A, Class 1, Class 2, Class 3). Using resources <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boaterexam.com\/boating-resources\/boat-size-classifications\/\" target=\"_blank\">like these<\/a>, you’ll find a rough estimation of your boat’s dimensions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want exact measurements, you’ll want to <em>measure your boat from front to back <\/em>and <em>from one side to the other.<\/em> (length and width). Remember that a small boat trailer can’t fit a larger boat. <strong>Your boat trailer needs to be at least as long as your boat.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, when you purchase a pontoon boat, you’ll need to add 3′ to 5′ in the turning radius to the boat’s length to allow an adequate swing radius in case of tight turns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Generally, a single-axle trailer can accommodate a boat up to 22 feet, with a maximum weight of around 3,300 pounds. If you have a larger boat, you may need to consider going up to a larger trailer size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember that<a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/15-different-types-of-boats-complete-guide\/\"> certain types of boats<\/a> may have a more prominent influence on the type of trailer you need. For example, pontoon boats can easily launch in shallow water, which means they may function just fine on a roller trailer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"affordability\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Affordability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When choosing a boat trailer, price may be the deciding factor when it comes to your preferred boat trailer type. To calculate how much you’re willing to pay for a boat trailer, be sure to factor in the <strong>cost of maintenance and the initial purchase.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Bunk trailers are often more affordable to purchase and maintain than roller trailers or float-on trailers<\/strong>. Larger trailers, including double-axle trailers, are also frequently more expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<html><body><div id=\"2_in_post\">\n <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/search?can_store_vehicle=true&min_length=16&min_width=10&overrideTitle=Boat%20Storage&storing=Boat&types%5B%5D=Carport&types%5B%5D=Driveway&types%5B%5D=Garage&types%5B%5D=Parking%20Lot&types%5B%5D=Unpaved%20Lot&types%5B%5D=Street%20Parking&types%5B%5D=Warehouse&types%5B%5D=Other\" onclick=\"rudderanalytics.track('press editorial cta button', {location: 'second in post', version: '2.0'}, () => { console.log('track call');

Sometimes, you can <strong>find this information on the sticker inside the door of your vehicle<\/strong>. Other times, you’ll need to calculate it yourself by <strong>researching the VIN number.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep in mind that <strong>towing capacity will need to accommodate the weight of any passengers and cargo<\/strong>, as well as the weight of the boat and its adjoining trailer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you look up your vehicle’s towing capacity online, that vehicle’s history may also change towing capacity. Some types of collisions can cause damage to the vehicle that may decrease its overall towing capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you know the vehicle’s towing capacity, look at the weight of your boat and your trailer. You will also have to consider your trailer weight carrying capacity. If you’re coming close to the maximum towing capacity of your vehicle or trailer, you may want to consider a different setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In general, you should <strong>add 15% to the boat and trailer’s weight when calculating overall towing weight<\/strong> for safety and to ensure that your vehicle has the right towing capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to federal regulations, you can only drive a combined weight of <a href=\"https:\/\/ops.fhwa.dot.gov\/freight\/publications\/size_regs_final_rpt\" target=\"_blank\">up to 26,000 pounds<\/a> of truck, trailer, and cargo without a <strong>Class C driver’s license<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the combined weight of your truck, trailer, and boat exceeds that maximum amount, you may need to choose a different towing combination for your boat or consider testing for your Class C license.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"duration-of-weight-load\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Duration of Weight Load<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carefully <strong>consider how long your boat will likely be sitting on its trailer<\/strong>. Some people only place their boat on a trailer when it’s headed to the water — or, at most, for a trip in for maintenance or a longer road trip to reach a different body of water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other people, however, will <strong>store their boats on their trailers<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/how-to-winterize-a-boat\">during the winter months<\/a> when boating season is no longer in session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Galvanized steel trailers tend to be some of the more durable long-term options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"other-boat-trailer-accessories\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other Boat Trailer Accessories<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to selecting the right boat trailer, <strong><em>the boat trailer hubs, suspension systems, and even corrosion resistance<\/em><\/strong> are all key factors. When investing in a comprehensive boat package, pay attention to the accessories included, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"wheels-tires\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wheels\/Tires<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trailer tires are built to carry heavy loads. Look at tread patterns and assess wear in trailers that are not brand new to ensure your .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"lights\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lights<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trailer lights on the tail of the trailer will hook into your vehicle system; LED lights can last longer and increase overall brightness on the road; having additional trailer lights to improve visibility is quite helpful<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"jacks\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jacks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For smaller boats, the single-wheel jack is common; larger boats need a <strong>dual-wheel jack or a foot jack<\/strong> to support the weight of the boat. Also, take a<strong> look at the winch<\/strong> and how it operates; clearly, a winch to pull a kayak or aluminum boat will be much different than a large cruiser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"rollers-guides\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rollers\/Guides<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rollers and guides are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/ultimate-boating-checklist\/\">ideal for new boat owners<\/a> and those who are planning to load in windy conditions or heavy currents. Most trailer packages come with some type of roller or guide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To ensure you’re comfortable with your selection, look at both spring suspension and the more modern torsion axles; these, along with the rollers\/guides will play into your overall experience towing your trailer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"steps-ladders\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Steps\/Ladders<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Is climbing into the trailer something you can do with ease? Manufacturers offer trailer packages with both steps and ladder solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"break-away-components\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Break-away Components<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your trailer is in an accident, you need to <strong>understand what will happen to the vehicle<\/strong>, the boat, and the trailer. Breakaway components help the trailer release from the vehicle. Take specific note of the tie-downs and straps used, as they will also play into this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"your-boat-trailer-is-also-a-serious-investment\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your Boat Trailer is Also a Serious Investment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choosing the right boat trailer is a big decision, whether you’re purchasing a boat and trailer together or separately. With these strategies, however, you can ensure you have the information you need to choose the ideal trailer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you have a trailer, you’ll need to decide where you’re planning on hauling the boat, post-lake-day (or post-boating season). Look at some of the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/boat-storage-near-me\"> boat storage options that Neighbor has<\/a>. Peer-to-peer storage can help cut down costs and give you that added convenience you may not get at a traditional storage facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A boat trailer isn’t nearly as fun to shop for as the actual boat.
