Choosing a trailer may be a tough call. When making your decision, you should consider you launch site before anything else. If the water is too shallow, you won’t be able to launch your boat with a bunk-type trailer, making a scissor-type necessary. If you have a steep enough shoreline to launch with a bunk-type trailer, choose this style to make your commute less stressful. Towing complications can cause thousands of dollars worth of damage to your boat, so you want to be absolutely sure that you can tow safely. If you do begin looking into a scissor-type trailer, make sure you’re getting as much stability as possible. A single axle trailer is asking for trouble, two wheels are the bare minimum, and a tandem axle model with 4 wheels or more will have the best balance. When shopping, give the trailer a “tip test” to see how much you can move it with your bare hands. If you can lift it or tip it yourself, it’s probably not stable enough.
