Pontoon Boat & PWC on the same trailer...?

#1 Post by motophile » Sun Jul 12, 2009 3:22 pm

Has anyone here ever heard of using the same trailer to hall both a pontoon boat and a PWC? Either by using a trailer that is a few feet longer than the boat and building some rails for the PWC, or extending the trailer by welding on and reinforcing a PWC trailer. Either way the PWC would be perpendicular to the boat resting as close to the stern of boat as possible. I did some searches and found no info or pics.
Thanks for any tips, ideas and input!

Been done, you just add to the length and move the axles up to keep the tongue weight right, you drop the toon in first and then back on in to launch the PWC

Oh you're talking about putting the PWC on the bow end of the trailer? I was thinking on the stern it would just launch itself when the pontoon was launched. I was thinking about buying all 3 pieces separately. Say a 24 ft trailer, a 20 ft pontoon and a PWC. That way the trailer axle/s might be in a usable spot.

That should work as you can move the toon back to keep the weight right
