Universal Small-Craft Trailer

C. E.  Smith’s Universal Small-Craft Trailer

Ideal for towing dinghies, inflatables or personal watercraft!

The Universal Trailer has an 800lb. capacity and features high-quality craftsmanship and carries boats and small craft up to about 12ft. long. C.E. Smith built this trailer with a galvanized steel frame for its anti-corrosion and rust resistant properties. The 5-foot long bunk boards are adjustable providing accommodation for various boat widths and V-shaped or flat-bottomed boats. Marine-grade carpet covers the bunk boards for mold and mildew resistance while protecting the hull of your boat from scratches. A hand crank winch allows for quick and easy loading and unloading of your boat. The pre-galvanized steel fenders accompany highway-rated 8” tires and a rugged axle with long leaf springs for a durable suspension. This trailer assembles easily in a couple hours with common hand tools and includes hardware.

How Do I Know If I Have A Properly Balanced Load? A trailer is properly balanced when the tires are carrying 85% of the gross vehicle weight with the remaining 15% carried by the hitch ball. For example: trailer + boat + motor + gas + all gear, etc. = 600lbs, then the load must be moved forward or backward on the trailer such that the hitch ball is carrying 90lbs (600 x 0.15 = 90lbs). Too little weight resting on the hitch ball causes dangerous trailer sway.  Safe trailering!
