TRAILER TALK · BROUGHT TO YOU BY SBS
The adventure starts on the road.
Find the right support for your boat, from the first measurement to the next slipway.
Find your trailer
A good fit makes all the difference.
Your boat’s length is only the start. Match the trailer to its fully loaded weight, hull shape, bow-eye-to-transom measurement and the way you launch.
Take account of the engine, fuel, batteries and equipment. The trailer’s gross weight includes the trailer itself; its payload is what it can carry. Ask SBS to confirm the specification for your exact boat.
SBS trailer selection guideBefore you choose
- Measure bow eye to transom, beam and overall length.
- Weigh the boat with its engine and usual equipment.
- Check your car’s towing limit, train weight and towbar noseweight limits.
- Consider your slipway, storage and launch conditions.
- Confirm hull support, brakes and load rating with SBS.
Support that suits your boat.
