Trailering Tips
Boston Whaler boats do not require special trailers, but selection should be based on the following important considerations:
1. Load ratings:
- 13' = 600 lbs
16' = 1200-1600 lbs
19' = 2500 lbs
19' sterndrive = 3000 lbs
21’ = 3000 lbs
2. For long haul, use biggest available tires.
3. Use wooden side supports--not rollers. Side rollers may become misdirected and damage boat.
4. Keel rollers must take nearly all the weight, bearing on keel, not adjacent hull surface.
5. Winch stand should have bow stop above the bow eye. This allows winch to pull eye straight in and provides security in a panic stop
6. Flat chassis type trailers are required for 19-and 21-foot models. Trailers designed for deep-V boats cause sponsons to rub on fenders.
