Boat transport companies are very specialized services capable of moving small to large sailboats and powerboats short distances to across the country. Some boat transport services even provide international hauling from the United States to Canada or South American countries.
As the boats these companies are hauling are very expensive craft, having the best trailers with the correct security and safety features for safe transport is critical. While some boat haulers use standard trailers, others choose boat transport trailers for sale offered by the trailer manufacturer.
There are several advantages to consider with boat transport trailers for sale by the trailer manufacturer. While these trailers may have a slightly higher initial cost, they typically have a much longer lifespan than the standard models, which means a better return on investment over the life of the trailer.
Additional Capacity and Features
When working with the manufacturer, it is possible to upgrade or enhance the safety and security features on the trailer. It may also be possible to increase the capacity of the trailer with these features, allowing for the company to safely transport a wider range of sailboats and powerboats.
These upgrades, when built into the design of the trailer, are less costly than modifications completed at a later date. Additionally, as they are part of the original trailer they are finished and painted to match, providing a professional look.
Pre-Owned Trailers
A few of the manufacturers offer boat transport trailers for sale that have been pre-owned. Many of these used models have customized features from the manufacturer, so the quality and dependability of the trailers are never in question.
For a boat hauling business, these used trailers can be a cost effective way to add to the fleet. Many companies find that the customized new trailers are the best option, but used are also worth consideration.
