“A35” A96BS 16-20 3100 lb Aluminum Boat Trailer with Target Bunks
Aluminum frame. 3100 lb capacity. Target bunk loading support. Matched by 411MarineCom.
The “A35” A96BS 16-20 3100 lb aluminum boat trailer builds on the proven A96BS 16-20 3100 platform and adds adjustable bow target bunks for improved loading control, better centering, and more confidence at the ramp.
This trailer is a strong fitment starting point for many 16-20 ft V-hulls, skiffs, aluminum fishing boats, light center consoles, and similar boats where proper bunk contact and loading alignment matter.
Compared with the A30 base model, the A35 adds target bunks near the forward loading area. That upgrade helps guide the hull toward the correct position as the boat approaches the winch stand.
Target Bunks for Better Loading Control
Target bunks help make even a newer boater look confident at the ramp.
As the boat comes onto the trailer, the two forward adjustable-pitch target bunks help catch and guide the bow toward the correct landing point.
Once the bow reaches that target, the boat settles into position with less correction and fewer retries.
This advantage matters in swift current, crosswind, shallow water, or calm conditions. The target bunks give the operator a clear path toward the winch stand and help the hull glide into place.
In many cases, the boat only needs a few final hand cranks on the winch before it is secure and ready for the ride home.
That is why this upgrade is more than a convenience. It improves centering, reduces ramp stress, and helps avoid the frustration of backing up and trying again.
Canadian Fir Target Bunk Material
The target bunks use Canadian fir, a durable natural wood choice for this application.
Canadian fir offers strong support and long-term service when properly installed and maintained.
Using a natural wood target bunk material also helps avoid unnecessary harsh chemical treatment in this part of the trailer setup. That fits the practical marine environment where strength, serviceability, and responsible material choices all matter.
Patented Channel Bracket Support
The target bunk system uses EZ Loader’s patented channel bracket upright support design. The original design dates back to 1999, with a later revision in 2019.
The formed dimples mate against the upright support, helping stabilize the U-bolt and increase the contact footprint around the upright. That added support helps reduce slippage during repeated loading, ramp use, vibration, and road travel.
This small detail matters. A target bunk that stays aligned helps the trailer keep doing its job over time instead of shifting, loosening, or needing frequent readjustment.
The engineer behind the original design retired in 2021, leaving behind a practical EZ Loader feature that continues to support long-term fitment and loading performance.
Smooth Empty Towing and Road Manners
This trailer pulls solid even when empty. It does not bounce around like some light-duty trailers, and it tracks straight behind the tow vehicle when properly set up.
That road behavior matters for owners who tow both with and without the boat. A trailer should feel stable on the road, not nervous, loose, or unpredictable.
Oil-Bath Hub Reliability
The A35 A96BS 16-20 3100 uses oil-bath hubs for reliable service and smoother long-distance towing.
Oil-bath lubrication helps reduce heat and friction during road use. That can be especially helpful for customers who tow beyond short local trips or use their trailer often during the season.
Built for Long-Term Ownership
EZ Loader trailers have earned their reputation through practical design details, long-term parts support, and proven construction methods.
The target bunk system, oil-bath hubs, aluminum frame, adjustable hardware, and loading support all work together to create a trailer that can serve owners for many years.
That kind of build quality is one reason EZ Loader trailers are often repaired, maintained, and passed from generation to generation.
