CE Smith Trailers for Small Boats and Kayaks
Hauling a jon boat, fishing kayak, or a small motorized hull gets simpler with CE Smith. Assembly is straightforward and the build feels solid, with options like 12" wheels valued for steady highway travel. Pair carpeted guide-ons with keel rollers for easier loading, set bunks to match your hull or pontoons, and double-check the trailer plug style so it mates with your vehicle wiring.
Yes, they work well for heavier, longer kayaks and reduce lifting compared to rooftop carrying. Set bunks low and close together to fit the hull, and you can add bolts to help keep bunks from rotating. Balance weight toward the front bunk to manage tongue weight and allow some rear overhang. For tight storage, a tongue hinge can help.
Assembly is generally straightforward with clear instructions. Expect lots of bolts and compression nuts; plan a few hours with hand tools and a drill for bunk screws. Bunk setup is often the trickiest step, so lay out parts before tightening. If a tongue piece fits tight, lightly crimp to seat it. Test-fit wiring before finalizing.
Rollers can still help with a small 230 lbs boat. Keep the carpeted guide-ons that come with the trailer and add Deep V keel roller assemblies to ease loading. Set bunks to support the hull evenly. Check bunk bracket hole spacing; if brackets stick out they can scrape the boat, so use wider boards or position brackets closer together.
Choosing 12" wheels can be better at highway speeds. Confirm the trailer connector matches your vehicle's 4-flat; some harnesses differ and may include unused plugs—secure them and add wiring clips as needed. After connecting, verify all lights work. Recheck wiring routing to prevent dangling leads during travel.
