Types of Boat Trailers

Unless you’re fortunate enough to live right next to your favorite lake, you’ll likely need to transport your boat to and from your preferred body of water for every marine adventure. In order to do this, you’ll need to invest in a boat trailer that is suitable for your particular make and model of boat. This guide to the two primary types of boat trailers will help you to make an informed purchasing decision.

Bunk Trailers

For those who want a boat trailer that can be easily reversed directly into the water at their local boat launch, a bunk trailer is ideal. These trailers let you float your boat onto and off the bed easily, making your loading and unloading processes faster and simpler. Metal rails keep the boat in place during transit. This type of boat trailer is good for smaller boats.

Roller Trailers

If you prefer to not submerge your boat trailer, a roller trailer can be the best option. Wheels will help you to easily roll your boat into the water. This is better for large boats that would be too difficult to simply float into the water. Roller trailers tend to cost more, but they are better for large boats.
