Trailer Shopping

Picking up my first standup and need a trailer. What does the best job for hauling an SXR-800? I don't want any trailer that "could" handle a bigger boat, because that will never happen. I'd like the most dedicated small PWC trailer available for my new baby.

I like the idea but I'm often alone and the SXR is not as light as the SJ, so if I have trouble with the weight of the ski I might end up scratching the hull, etc. But I do like the idea of no trailer!

Just about any small single Jetski trailer will work.

Without much research it seems you'd be hard pressed to find a new trailer that meets your criteria. They all seem big enough to hold the biggest 4stroke 3 seater these days.

You will probably have to find an used, older trailer. One of the smallest mass produced I can think of is 90's Venture WaterBug trailer. I have one and total width is like 57" with the wider tires and frame length of @ 125".

A single sit-down trailer works great, used one with my superjet, and usually has enough room for a storage box or gas can rack.

Get on Craigslist and start searching for single place PWC trailers. Anything will work for a stand-up, aluminum trailers are lighter, nicer and a little more $$$$. But anything with good tires, properly greased bearings, and a bow catch will get the job done.

Got a great deal on a Triton Aluminum "Wave H" which is the smallest and heavy duty trailer for the SXR. If I ever buy a new four stroke I'll have a good trailer for the beast. Can't wait for summer!

If anyone else ends up with with a similar question looking for used trailers for standup /B1/B2, etc...

Waverunner 3s can often be found with pretty small trailers by today's standards with tube tongues that can be cut shorter with a sawsall. Just be sure to check the condition of the axels as they are usually the first part to wear out.

These old trailers also make great kayak / canoe or single atv trailers because the frames are square. Makes it easy to put down bunks or flat decks.

Someone posted in a local FB group, they were looking for a trailer for their Sea Doo RXT...it's 12ft long btw. That is not even a ski anymore, that's a small over powered boat. lol
