What You Need To Know About Your Pontoon Boat To Buy The Correct Pontoon Boat Trailer.

The overall length of the pontoon boat tubes:  Pontoon boat trailers are fitted to the tube length and occasionally, although it is not recommended, a shorter pontoon boat trailer can be used on a longer pontoon boat.  However, modern pontoon boats with large engines make the pontoon trailer fit more critical.  A lightweight pontoon boat with a 25HP engine on a shorter pontoon trailer might be OK for short hauls.  On the other hand, a pontoon boat with a 85HP engine on a shorter trailer would have weight distribution problems.

The Weight Of Your Pontoon Boat: Modern pontoon boats with large horse power engines frequently tip the scales at over 3000lbs.  Older pontoon boats with smaller engines and limited pontoon seating often weigh only 1500lbs.  Refer to the pontoon boat manufacturers sales brochure for new pontoon boat weights.

How Will You Use Your Pontoon Trailer?  We frequently hear that customers want a pontoon boat trailer to launch and retrieve their pontoon boat just once or twice a year.  However, once you have a new pontoon boat trailer you are not locked into one lake and may want to travel.  A few hundred dollars invested in a tandem axle pontoon boat trailer or a pontoon trailer with brakes may be worthwhile since you will have the added mobility.
