A set of components designed to adapt an existing trailer for the purpose of transporting a boat. These kits typically include items such as bunks or rollers, winch stands, lighting systems, and potentially hardware necessary for mounting. For instance, a utility trailer could be modified using such a kit to safely and securely carry a small fishing boat.
The adoption of these specialized assemblies can offer a cost-effective alternative to purchasing a dedicated boat trailer. Benefits include the potential for utilizing existing resources, customization options to accommodate specific hull shapes and sizes, and the ability to repurpose trailers that may otherwise remain unused. Historically, such adaptation has been driven by economic constraints and a desire for greater versatility in trailer usage.
