LOL thats what ive asked myself this whole time never got it out. i was trusting my buddy who said it works Haha. and i have no idea how it works all he said is that a 5 year old could dock a boat on this trailer and i like it because it keeps road debris from killing the hull and a damn good step rail

Is it a trailer or a portable dry dock?

Re: Anyone heard of this trailer??

I don't know about that specific trailer however; my friend has a tri-axle for his boat and it has HUGE bunks on it...I mean like rail road ties. The bunks are probably 6x12's and are full length and therefore the trailer floats. It is crazy to see a trailer that size float. You have to back in quite a ways but it still floats. It makes it VERY easy to put boat on the trailer. We go offshore and come back to the ICW where there is most always a stiff current. The trailer drifts slightly with the current, so when the boat does, no adjustment is necessary. It sounds goofy, but it is great. This trailer is probably a good one for you

I have an aluminum trailer with gigantic cypress bunks and it floats. When I first bought it and went to land the boat, I thought "oh no, this is going to be a PITA". Well I sure was surprised... when you drive out the whole thing is just centered, even if the ramp surface is tilted to one side.

Re: Anyone heard of this trailer??

im glad to know im not the only one with a trailer that does this same thing. but i still think its crazy for a company to build a trailer of this caliber for a boat of this size. like i said both the boat and trailer are very good built im wandering if this was a tiny like three man shop that custom built these boats for ppl but i have no idea.. i have done alot of research without much to show for it.
