EZ Loader A102BS 16–20′ 3100 lb Base Model Aluminum Boat Trailer
Wider 102″ beam aluminum bunk trailer for many 16–20 ft boats. Matched by 411Marine.
The EZ Loader A102BS 16–20′ 3100 lb Base Model is a wider-beam aluminum bunk trailer designed for many 16–20 ft boats that need more trailer width than a standard 96″ beam setup.
This trailer is very similar in purpose to the A96BS 16–20′ 3100 lb base model. The key difference is the 102″ overall trailer width. That added beam can make a real difference for wider bay boats, skiffs, center consoles, bow riders, and other modern hulls that have grown wider over the years.
A wider trailer stance can help improve hull support, loading angle, launch depth, and day-to-day usability at the ramp. For many boats, it allows the trailer to sit lower in the water during loading and unloading. This may reduce water-entry height and help the boat settle more naturally onto the bunks.
What This Trailer Is Built To Do
- Support many 16–20 ft wider-beam V-hull, bay, skiff, and center-console style boats
- Provide more usable trailer width than a 96″ beam trailer
- Help lower launch and loading height when matched correctly
- Offer adjustable bunk fitment for proper hull contact
- Keep ownership simple with a single-axle aluminum trailer design
- Provide a lighter, corrosion-resistant trailer option for freshwater or coastal use
Why the 102″ Beam Matters
Not every 16–20 ft boat fits best on a 96″ wide trailer. Over the past several years, many boats in this size range have become wider, taller, and heavier for their length.
The A102BS gives the trailer a wider base, which can be helpful for:
- Wider bay boats
- Wider skiff-style boats
- Center consoles with more beam
- Bow riders with wider hull sections
- Boats that feel too tight or too tall on a narrow trailer
- Owners who want easier side access when the boat is out of the water
The added trailer beam may also help reduce the height needed to float the boat off or load it back on. This depends on the ramp, hull shape, bunk position, water depth, and final trailer setup.
Key Features and Benefits
Wider 102″ Trailer Beam
The 102″ overall width gives this trailer more side-to-side stance than a 96″ model. This can help with wider hull support and a better loading position for many modern boats.
Aluminum Construction
The aluminum frame helps reduce trailer weight while providing strong corrosion resistance. This is especially helpful for owners using the trailer around freshwater, brackish water, or saltwater environments.
Adjustable Bunk Support
The adjustable carpeted bunks allow the trailer to be matched to the hull shape. Proper bunk angle, spacing, and height are important for safe support and clean loading.
Single-Axle Simplicity
This trailer keeps ownership simple. A single-axle trailer is easier to move, store, service, and maneuver than many larger tandem-axle trailers.
Lower Loading and Better Side Access
When matched correctly, the wider trailer stance can help the boat sit in a more practical loading position. This may make it easier to step or slide over the side of the boat onto the fender area when side entry or exit is needed.

Important Fitment Note
This is not a one-size-fits-all trailer.
Boat length alone does not determine the correct trailer. Beam, hull shape, deadrise, transom design, motor weight, fuel load, gear weight, and D-ring-to-drain-plug measurement all matter.
Before ordering, we recommend confirming:
- Boat year, make, and model
- Boat length and beam
- Approximate loaded weight
- D-ring to drain plug measurement
- Freshwater or saltwater use
- State brake requirements
- Ramp conditions where the boat is normally launched
411Marine can help confirm whether this A102BS 102″ beam trailer is the better choice, or whether a 96″ beam model, target bunk model, tandem axle, or higher-capacity trailer would be a better match.
Why EZLoaderTrailers411.com Is Different
Buying the right trailer is only part of the job. Correct setup is what makes the trailer load clean, tow properly, and support the boat the way it should.
We help confirm:
- Bunk angle and bunk spacing
- Winch stand height and bow stop position
- Boat position on the trailer
- Tongue weight and towing balance
- Launch and loading behavior at your ramp
- Whether the 102″ beam is truly needed for your hull
If a different trailer is the better fit, we will tell you before selling the wrong one.
