Multipurpose Trailer Hauls Different Types of Boats

The adjustable design of this trailer lets you tow almost any type of small boat. You can lay the trailer's bunk boards either side to side or front to back, depending on the watercraft you want to carry. And with 12" diameter wheels and an 86" long trailer tongue, this trailer can support boats up to 14' long and up to 800 lbs.


CE48870 side to side

Install the bunk boards so that they are positioned across the trailer's frame to tow your kayak or surfboard. The bunks provide enough cargo space to tow 2 kayaks at once.


CE48870 front to back

Set the trailer's bunks front to back to hold your jon boat, pontoon boat, or inflatable. You can also adjust the tilt of the bunks to contour to your boat's hull when towing a canoe or dinghy.


CE48870 adjustable brackets

This trailer comes with bolster brackets of 2 different heights, so you can choose the brackets that work for your type of boat. Then adjust the swivel brackets to tilt the bunk boards so that they cradle your boat's hull. Finally, the winch stand can be unbolted and moved along the trailer tongue to fit the length of your boat.


Hand Crank Winch

CE48870 winch and stop

If you're towing a jon boat or pontoon, you can use the included hand-crank winch to ease loading and unloading. After installing the included winch stand on the trailer's tongue, mount the winch to the stand. A bow roller bracket, complete with rubber roller, is also included to keep your boat from hitting the winch stand.


Plug-and-Play Trailer Wiring

CE48870 main harness to 4-way

The wiring for this trailer has a simple plug-and-play design, so it doesn't require any cutting or splicing to install. As you assemble the trailer, route the main wiring harness through the trailer tongue and down towards the body of the trailer. Then plug the 4-wire end of the tail light harness into the main harness.


CE48870 4-way plug

Run the wires of the tail light harness along the sides of the trailer frame and plug the individual wires into the matching wires on the side marker lights and the tail lights. The wires are color-coded so that you can easily match them up - no circuit tester is required. Once all of the wires are plugged in, use the included clips to secure the harness to the frame.


CE48870 4-way plug

When you're ready to connect the trailer to your vehicle, simply plug the trailer end of the main harness into the 4-way flat connector on your vehicle.


Submersible LED Trailer Lights

CE48870 lights

The DOT-approved tail lights on this trailer are fully submersible, so you don't have to worry about water damaging the lights when you're loading and unloading your boat. Each tail light has brake, running light, and turn signal functions, as well as side marker lights and reflectors. In addition, these lights are comprised of LEDs, which last longer, burn brighter, and require less power than incandescent bulbs.


CE48870 side marker light

Amber side marker lights are included as well. They mount on the trailer's frame to keep the trailer visible from the side.


Marine-Grade Construction

CE48870 construction

The frame and fenders on this trailer are made of galvanized steel, giving them excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, even in saltwater. And the marine-grade carpeting on the bunks resists mold and mildew buildup, keeping the wooden bunks protected and free from rot.


Leaf Spring Suspension

CE48870 suspension

This trailer includes a leaf spring suspension system to limit road shock while you tow. A sturdy steel axle runs beneath the trailer frame. The 2 slipper springs on top of the axle flex to absorb the rough motion that can occur when driving over bumpy terrain. Also, the axle, spring hangers, and tie plate are galvanized to resist rust and corrosion.


Trigger-Style Coupler for Easy Hookup

CE48870 coupler

The trailer's trigger-latch-style coupler connects to a 2" hitch ball. The included safety chains act as an emergency measure if the coupler accidentally disconnects from your hitch ball. Finally, the tongue skid on the underside of the trailer tongue keeps the coupler up off the ground when it's not coupled.

Nice trailer. Simple to set up and very easy to change bunks, etc.

Very nice product
Just what I needed

Seems complete and of good quality
Only have problem with title
Received it not filled out or signed by manufacturer
Have to send it back and wait
Otherwise I am very satisfied



by:

I give your product a five star rating. It's just like baking a cake. If you can follow the directions everything will turn out just right.
I like how every group of components had it's own bag of hardware to assemble it.
I wouldn't change a thing. I would recommend this product to a friend.



by:

Great trailer for my SunDolphin 120 Pro. Went together well, takes some time, but well worth it. Just be sure to take the time and make sure it's fitted to your boat - it's also worth it.



by:

Perfect size for my 12 foot rowboat. Clear assembly instructions with no missing parts. Used many times this year with no problems and remain satisfied with my purchase



by:

This trailer will be great for my 12' jon boat. Very sturdy. Best price I found. Fast shipping. Great company to deal with. Great quality products.



by:

I really enjoy my trailer. Smooth drive on the highway. Also etrailer was most reasonable price compare to other competitors. Thanks



by:

Looks well manufactured and solid . I have yet to put it all together, I am extremely pleased with it so far . Shipping was fast from manufacturer although one box was torn on corners ....... all parts appear to be there.



by:

Ordered my trailer over the phone - the service was excellent. All boxes were delivered ahead of schedule. It took some time assembling the trailer, but the instructions were easy enough to follow. My Pond Prowler 10 fits perfectly. Can’t wait to get it on the road to put the boat in the water.



by:

Purchased a C.E. Smith sports utility trailer. Perfect transaction. Best price on the internet. Website made it easy to complete the order. Shipping was free and the trailer was delivered to my home is two days. Outstanding in every way.

  • Can Speed Rating of CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat Trailer be Upgraded
    Hey Mark, the speed rating of the CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat and Kayak Trailer w/ Bunks # CE48870 is 65 mph due to the tires that are on it. I checked your order notes to verify this was the trailer that you have. If you needed to go faster than that you can swap the tires out to the part # TT48012C which is the same size but rated for 81 mph instead.

  • What Trailer do I Need to Haul My Kraken and Old Town Dirigo Kayaks and a Cargo Carrier?
    Hey Gary, Those are some really nice kayaks you have. Thanks for the detailed question, sounds like you’ve got some great paddling and fishing ahead! Based on everything you’ve described, the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129 is hands-down one of the best options for your needs. First off, the EasyRider is built for versatility and weight capacity. With its full-length 78” HD crossbars and a 500 lb load rating, it can easily handle your 15’5” Jackson Kraken (even geared...

  • How Much will My 14 Foot Aluminum Boat Hang off the Back of the CE Smith Trailer # CE48870?
    Hello Ryan, The CE Smith trailer # CE48870 is a solid choice for hauling a 14-foot aluminum boat. It’s actually designed for boats up to 14 feet, so you’re right at the sweet spot. Now, in terms of how much of your boat might hang off the back it’ll depend a bit on how you position the boat and how the bunks are set up. Typically, from the winch post to the end of the bunks, you’ll have about 11 to 12 feet of support. So with a 14-foot boat, you can expect around 2 feet to extend past...

  • Can CE Smith Multi Sport Plus be Used to Haul a SCAMP Sailboat
    Hey Kyle, thanks for reaching out! The CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat and Kayak Trailer w/ Bunks # CE48870 can handle up to a 14' boat that weighs up to 800 lbs. As long as your SCAMP sailboat is within those specs you'll be good to go.

  • Parts Needed for CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat and Kayak Trailer w/ Bunks
    Hey Bill! That happens sometimes so I'm glad you submitted it again. The CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat and Kayak Trailer w/ Bunks # CE48870 already comes with a winch and the bunk boards so you're set there. The only other thing you might want aside from guide-ons like # CE27620 is some straps like the Erickson Re-Tractable Ratchet Straps # 34414 to help keep the boat secure on the trailer. Where do you typically take your rowboat? That isn't something we come across very often.

  • Recommended Trailer for 12 Foot Long Inflatable Boat
    Hi Boris; the CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat and Kayak Trailer # CE48870 you looked at would actually be perfect for your boat. This holds boats up to 14' long and has a capacity of 800 lbs. Bunks are going to be the best way to hold the boat and you can configure them running front to back or side to side, whichever works best for your setup. It also comes with a winch to help with loading/act as a tie-down point to keep it secure.

  • Recommended Trailer for Bass Pro Pond Prowler 10 Foot Fishing Boat
    We have a really great option for a trailer for your 10 foot Bass Pro Pond Prowler boat, although the Malone trailer you mentioned has been discontinued by the manufacturer and is no longer available. Instead, which I highly recommend is an option from CE Smith: - CE Smith Multi Sport Boat and Kayak Trailer with Bunks # CE48810 When I looked up your boat it was just 130 lbs and 48 inches wide so it is going to be a perfect fit for this trailer and something you'll be able to easily use...

  • Boat Trailer Recommendation for a 14' Whitehall Spirit Solo Rowboat
    Hey Anthony, thanks for reaching out! The Yakima Rack and Roll Kayak Trailer # Y24TR is a great product, but it won't work well for your Whitehall Spirit Solo 14. For that kind of boat we're going to need to use something a bit heftier and for that I recommend the CE Smith Multi Sport Plus # CE48870 as it has bunk boards and a winch mount at the front which will do a MUCH better job at distributing the weight of your boat.

  • Should Weight of Boat on Trailer be Balanced on Either Side of Axle
    You actually do not want the weight of the load on a trailer to balance perfectly on either side of the axle. You want more weight forward so that the trailer doesn't sway. What you'll want is 10-15 percent of the total trailer weight as tongue weight so you'd want to position the boat and bunks further forward. For a lighter duty trailer setup like yours you could use a bathroom scale to measure the tongue weight when it's sitting level.

  • Will the Thule TracRac Sr Cantilever be Wide Enough to Hold a 12' Lund WC-12 Boat?
    Hey Harry! The arms on the Cantilever Extension # TH24001XT are adjustable, and are supposed to be next to the uprights on the TracRac SR # TH43002XT-501. If you already have the ladder rack installed, then you can measure the width of the sliding bases and that will give you a rough estimate to where the cantilever arms will sit (see rough alignment in attached photo). I unfortunately don't have an exact measurement for you, but this will get you close. I will say that a major concern...

  • Boat Trailer Recommendation for a Pedal Boat
    Hey Floriana, we do have a couple of smaller trailers available that could work with a pedal trailer depending on the size of your boat. For instance, you could use the CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat and Kayak Trailer w/ Bunks # CE48870 as long as your boat is less than 53" wide, 14' long, and weighs less than 800 lbs. If your boat has different dimensions let me know what that is and I can take a look and see what we have.

    Hi Robert; the best trailer we carry for your 2007 Boston Whaler Super Sport is the CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat and Kayak Trailer w/ Bunks # CE48870. This can handle boats up to 14' long and up to 800 lbs so it can handle your 600 lb boat. The trailer has a galvanized frame and also comes with a winch for loading/unloading. Any big trips planned with your boat this summer?

  • Availability Of Kayak Trailer Less Than 48" Wide
    Hello Ben, thanks for reaching out. As far as the kayak trailers we offer, we do not have anything less than 48" wide. For example, the CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat and Kayak Trailer # CE48870 is 54" wide overall. I did see you were looking at the Malone Forge Kayak & Canoe Cart # MAL78CR. This is 30" wide overall so it would work in that regard. This is meant to be towed with a bicycle though and it would not work with a standard hitch ball connection. Other than this, I am sorry to...

  • Correct Bearing Buddy for CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat and Kayak Trailer
    The CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat and Kayak Trailer # CE48870 uses # L44649 bearings. The correct Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors are the # BB1980A-SS. These fit a 1.98" hub bore and L44649 outer bearings. They also have a stainless steel construction so you won't have to worry about corrosion.

  • CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat And Kayak Trailer Keeps Blowing Fuses In Vehicle
    Yeah, I can see that getting pretty obnoxious. I believe you are correct about the 4 Flat plug getting wet as the lights that come included with the CE Smith # CE48870 are fully submersible and all the connections are water proof. So with that said, there are a couple things you can do to remedy this. First, and the most common way, is to make sure the plug has dielectric grease (like # 11755) applied to it and simply making sure the plug is completely dry before plugging it back in. Wet...

  • Parts Needed for Converting 8" Wheels On CE Smith Multi Sport Trailer from 8" to 12" Wheel and Tire
    Yes, you can change the wheels on the CE Smith Multi Sport Boat and Kayak Trailer # CE48810 from 8" to 12". This would give you a trailer like the CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat and Kayak Trailer # CE48870. To complete the conversion you will need 2 of the Kenda 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" Galvanized Wheel # AM30590 and 2 of the CE Smith Single Axle Trailer Fenders # CE17701G to move to the larger tires.

This is kitted together from CE Smith and isn't something we can change parts on, unfortunately. I do also have to mention that going with a larger tire/wheel will require a few things to be done.

  • Recommended Boat Trailer for a 16' Canoe
    I have another option for you, but you are correct that the CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat and Kayak Trailer w/ Bunks # CE48870 can only handle boats up to 14' long. You instead would need to use the Malone LowBed MicroSport Trailer # MPG464-LB with the Bunk Kit for Malone Trailers # MPG561 which would allow you to carry a boat up to 20' long. Which is plenty of length for your 16' canoe.

  • Where Can Winch Mount and Bow Roller Mount on CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat Trailer 48870
    The CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat and Kayak Trailer w/ Bunks # CE48870 that you referenced was designed to be used with boats that are up to 14 feet in length like what you have now. I attached a picture that shows the range of where the winch mount/bow roller can sit on the trailer as well. It would easily be adjustable enough to accommodate your boat that has 12 feet from transom to bow eye. The bow roller and winch are also vertically adjustable as well on the mount so you can tailor...

The other option you have is a fold-away tongue kit, the Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit part # FHDPB230101 which we do know will work.
