If you decide to buy a boat, then you need to think about how you will transport it. Even the availability of a place in a specialized parking lot cannot guarantee that one day you will not decide to explore a new body of water or simply will not need to transport the boat to another place. Even if you have a boat made of aluminum and it does not have a keel, it will be problematic to lift it onto the top trunk of the car. You will need a trailer, the best of which we will consider in this article.
The most popular boat trailer manufacturers
The boat trailer is a bulky, heavy construction, so in most cases they are made in Russia, with rare exceptions. The most popular brands are:
MZSA. Moscow Plant of Specialized Vehicles. One of the oldest Russian enterprises, it has been producing trailers for many years and knows exactly how they should look.
LOVE. Trailers manufactured at the St. Petersburg enterprise Vector. These designs are valued for reliability and convenience, as well as thoughtful configuration.
Vodnik. Models from the Kurgan Trailer Plant, which are often called the best combination of price and quality.
Respo. A joint Russian-Estonian venture producing top trailers with the highest performance. The company has developed its own anti-corrosion coating, thanks to which the models do not rust for a long time.
LAKER. A Japanese brand that makes plastic boats and trailers to transport them. The company is famous for its low prices, but it should be understood that all models are produced in China.
What to look for when choosing a boat trailer?
When choosing a trailer, you should start from the banal axiom - it must fit your boat. Accordingly, there will be several parameters:
- load capacity;
- the size;
- suitable lodgements.
Almost all trailers are equipped with a small winch installed near the towbar. Without it, it will be difficult to drag the boat onto the lodgements. But the selection criteria do not end there. To make the operation as comfortable as possible, it is also necessary to study additional parameters.
- movable cradles;
- sealed or removable signal lights;
- own brakes;
- anti-corrosion coating.
All these are very important parameters that must be considered when choosing. If you make a mistake, you can get an inconvenient, impractical or not at all suitable unit for the boat.
Top 10. REPO V91T2
- Average price: 670,000 rubles.
- Country: Estonia (produced in Russia)
- Load capacity: 3500 kg
- Net weight: 400 kg
- Length of transported vessel: 10 m
- Supports: rollers
- Brakes: hydraulic
The first thing that needs to be said when reviewing this trailer is that the load capacity here is conditional. 3.5 tons is the approximate weight of a car, and by law you cannot transport goods whose weight is more than the weight of a car. In fact, the trailer will lift boats and much larger ones, but then it must be pulled by a truck or tractor. This is a design for large boats, which is unlikely to be useful to the average fishing or boat enthusiast. Hence the price, as well as little interest from buyers. But if you need to transport a large watercraft, then there is simply no better option. Every little thing is thought out here, and there will definitely not be any problems during loading or unloading.
- Large margin of safety
- Sophisticated dumping system
- Fully protected frame
- Very high cost
- Production exclusively on order
Top 9. Prestige 550W
- Average price: 93,000 rubles.
- Country Russia
- Load capacity: 540 kg
- Net weight: 170 kg
- Length of transported vessel: 4.5 m
- Supports: lodgements
- Brakes: optional
The Russian brand Prestige is relatively new on the market. Its main feature is customer focus. If you see a trailer of this brand, then it will not necessarily look like that. You can always order the configuration you need. This is the constructor from which you assemble the necessary model. For example, lodgements can be changed to rollers. Install hydraulic or inertial brakes. Select optics. This particular model is equipped with a movable winch and a shiftable support roller. This is what will remain unchanged. Everything else you put at your discretion.Of course, if you are willing to pay for such an approach.
- Extended frame
- Ability to set options as you wish
- Attractive appearance
- Weak hitch
- low wings
Top 8. Ruff PVC 82944C
Designed specifically for transporting PVC boats. Soft lodgements and bow supports will not tear the craft, and compact dimensions will allow you to store the trailer even in a small garage.
- Average price: 53,000 rubles.
- Country Russia
- Load capacity: 585 kg
- Net weight: 140 kg
- Length of transported vessel: 4 m

PVC boat owners also need trailers, but they don't need to buy a complex tipper structure with rolling carts and other bells and whistles. Such a simple option as Ruff PVC 82944C is also suitable. This is a frame profile design with two non-adjustable lodgements. For PVC boats, adjusting the anchor points does not make sense, since the bottom is always flat and there is no keel on it. In the bow, the hull rests on special soft cushions, and a small winch can easily pull even a four-seater boat out of the water. In addition, to drive this baby you do not have to open a new category in the driver's license. The trailer is too small for its special registration.
- Compact size
- Very soft supports
- Carries boats up to 4 meters long
- Unprotected optics
- Wheel size restrictions

If you have a single or double PVC boat and you don’t want to constantly deflate it for transportation, but you don’t see the point in buying an expensive boat trailer, then the LAKER Smart Trailer 300 is exactly what you need. This is the cheapest trailer in our ranking. Which is not surprising, given its design features. The boat is attached to the lodgements. They are regulated, but only conditionally. There are very few provisions, however, for PVC boats this does not really matter. There are no additional reinforcements on the frame, but they are not needed here, since the nominal load capacity is 200 kilograms. But the design weighs only 80 kg, and you definitely will not have any difficulties with its movement and storage.
- A light weight
- Compact dimensions
- budget price tag
- Low load capacity
- Fixed cradles

Retractable trolley and winch-controlled dumping system make it possible to unload the vessel and load it back without any extra effort.81017 is a two-axle boat trailer with its own brakes. They are mechanical and respond to inertia. If the car starts to slow down, the trailer will also start to slow down, which ensures high driving safety.

- Net weight: 140 kg
- Vessel length: 3.9 m
- Supports: lodgements
- Brakes: no
A trailer manufactured by a trailer company. Its main feature is versatility. In addition to the lodgements, the winch and the bow support roller also move here. They are displaced in height and place on the frame, which allows you to customize the design for any type of watercraft, whether it be a boat or a jet ski. The frame itself is made of a bent profile, which greatly enhances the design. There is no dump system, which is not very convenient, since the maximum transport weight is 460 kilograms. But the wings are located quite high. Under them, you can put wheels of 16 radius, thereby increasing the clearance or vice versa reducing it, for easier trailer control alone.
- Improved Design
- plastic fenders
- Movable winch
- Pretty weak winch design
- Lodgments do not change the angle of inclination

The best trailer in terms of reliability and durability. It is assembled from a thick-walled profile and has a protective coating applied by a hot method. No credible thin aluminum profiles. Only steel and reliability. Yes, there is no external gloss and attractiveness, which some foreign manufacturers emphasize. But you can not worry about the safety of the structure, and even an accidental impact on the barrier will not cause significant harm to it. We also note the presence of a dumping system. You do not have to manually drag the boat from the cradles, which is very convenient, especially if the loading is done by one person. The only drawback noted by users is a short and weak towbar.
- Tipper system
- Strong frame profile
- Offset axle
- Few options for adjusting the cradles
- Weak hitch

- Load capacity: 501 kg
- Net weight: 244 kg
- Length of transported vessel: 5 m
- Supports: rollers

The main feature of this trailer is the prefabricated structure.It is not made of a solid profile, it is easily disassembled and assembled with bolts. Such a system is often considered a disadvantage, as it is less durable, but if you do not overload the trailer, then there will be no problems. But the advantages of prefabricated models are much greater. First, you can easily replace any module. For example, if it was damaged in a small accident or you just want to increase the dimensions. This is a full-fledged constructor, and the manufacturer gives you the opportunity to choose the desired configuration even before purchase. For example, you can install wheels of a larger or smaller diameter or put LED lights.
- maintainability
- Retractable loading trolley
- Possibility to change modification and configuration
- Actual lifting capacity is higher than nominal
