Just like boats, boat trailers are available in a variety of sizes and styles. Before you bought your new boat, you did your homework thoroughly, researched various types and styles of boats, visited dealers and spoke with boat owners on a boat forum. Perhaps you read a few boating books to get ideas. You were very careful when selecting your boat, and choosing boat trailers is no different. You should protect your new investment by putting just as much research into boat trailers as you did into boats, so that you can select the perfect trailer for your situation.

Boat trailers are sold in two basic types: bunk and roller. Although the bunk trailer is generally considered superior for riveted aluminum boats due to their thin hulls, most boats can be equally supported on either type of trailer. The major difference has to do with how you will load your boat into and out of the water.

Your choice of boating marinas may help you choose between the basic types of boat trailers. A roller trailer is generally preferred if you will mostly load and unload your boat in shallow water. The drive-on, drive-off configuration makes it unnecessary to back very far into the water. By contrast, the bunk trailer’s float-on, float-off configuration makes this type of trailer ideal for those who will mostly load and unload in deeper water.
