Choosing a Boat Trailer

Before you can enjoy a great marine adventure, you’ll need to get your boat to the waters. A boat trailer is your best bet for safely transporting your boat, but it can be hard knowing which boat trailer best suits your needs. We've created the following guide to help you narrow your search.

Construction Material

One key consideration is to think about what construction material you want for your boat trailer. Most models are built from either galvanized steel or aluminum.

Steel Boat Trailers

Steel offers impressive rigidity, which means it won't bend under the heavy weight of your boat. This material is often chosen for heavier loads, but can also offer stability in transporting smaller vessels. The galvanized steel material is also coated with zinc and is able to resist rust. Keep in mind that painted steel is excellent for freshwater but can corrode in saltwater.

Aluminum Boat Trailers

Aluminum is a lightweight material that is also more flexible. Because the trailer is less heavy, you'll enjoy a large towing weight reduction and an easier towing experience. These options tend to be used for lighter and smaller boats.

Maintenance

Regardless of the material you choose, you’ll need to keep your trailer clean. Wash it with fresh water after each use. This is especially important if you venture into salt waters. An easy way to extend the life of your trailer is to prevent corrosion by proactive cleaning. When the trailer is not in use, you’ll want to store it under a cover or in a garage. This protection is more important in the winter months when the weather can be harsher.
