Inflatable Boat Trailer Suggestions

[SDH06]

I have a Mariner 4 and would find it convenient to leave it inflated for a few days and trailer it a short distance from our campground to the lake. This would require hitching it to my car so I am looking at trailers. Has anyone found a trailer that works well in transporting a fully inflated Mariner 4? I have see utility and jet ski trailers suggested but was wondering if anyone has had success with a trailer?

Fwiw, the utility would be my pick, that way you can use it as for other tasks.

You will need a set of long enough Ratchet Straps to keep the boat on the trailer.

A harbor freight trailer

Harbor freight fold up trailer. I think it’s 4x8 deck. The mariner is around 9’ long but it won’t matter. When I had a Seahawk 3 I put it in the back of my pickup truck. You can strap it to the roof of an SUV as well.

Just find a low side utility trailer that your inflatable will slide into. Make sure flooring on trailer has a none snag surface on it. A few rachet straps and your good to go.

I'm currently using an aluminum (8'x10') snowmobile trailer to transport my 11' inflatable. Three ratchet straps on the SIB, and one on the motor, and it's road ready! I sold the snowmobiles several years ago, but the trailer still doubles to transport my RZR, though I haven't needed to do that in a while since the RZR is registered and street legal in UT.

I never heard of a inflatable trailer either.

Just an update I purchased a used PWC trailer and it works really well. The Mariner 4 floats off the trailer once it is in the water and I can get enough power from my Minn Kota 45 lb to get back on the trailer. This saves having to carry the un inflated boat to the waters edge to start the process of set up and tear down. I usually stay at the campground for several days at a time and just set up and take down once per trip. Thanks for your input.
