EZ Loader 96BS 16–20 Galvanized Boat Trailer – 3100 lb Spring Axle Base Model

Some trailers quietly earn a reputation over time.
The EZ Loader 96BS 16–20 series is one of them.

For years, this trailer has carried thousands of boats across highways, boat ramps, and back roads throughout the Southeast. It’s a simple design, but that’s part of the reason it works so well.

This galvanized bunk trailer is commonly matched with boats such as:

• Boston Whaler 170 and 180 models
• Key West 186 Sportsman center consoles
• Bayliner 185 Bowrider boats
• Sea Ray 185
• Dual console fishing boats and more

At 411Marine and the 411-Trailers Group in Hardeeville, South Carolina, we’ve sold and set up this model in many configurations over the years.

Some customers prefer spring axles, others choose torsion axles.
Some boats need PVC side guides, others don’t.

The strength of this trailer is its flexibility.

Built for Real-World Boating

The EZ Loader 96BS platform is designed for boaters who want a trailer that simply works.

The frame is hot-dip galvanized steel, protecting the structure from corrosion in both freshwater and coastal environments.

Unlike welded frames that can trap moisture inside tubing, this trailer uses bolted construction. This allows the molten galvanizing to coat the steel components completely during manufacturing.

That extra protection is one reason these trailers stay on the road for many years.

Trailer Configuration Options

Over time we’ve sold this trailer in several common configurations.

The version shown here is the spring axle base model, but depending on the boat and customer preference it may also be configured with:

Available Setup Options

• Spring axle or torsion axle suspension
• PVC upright guide posts
• Horizontal 5-8 foot adjustable bunks
• 10″ Disc Brakes or Lionshead 14″ Aluminum Wheels
• Different winch stand positions depending on hull shape

Each boat hull sits differently, which is why we confirm the setup before recommending a trailer.

Adjustable Bunk Support System

The carpeted bunk system is designed to support a range of hull styles.

The bunks adjust vertically and horizontally, allowing them to be aligned to the running surface of the hull.

When set up correctly, the bunks help distribute the boat’s weight evenly and keep the hull centered during launching and loading.

This system works well for:

• fiberglass center consoles
• bay boats
• dual consoles
• small bowriders
• classic Boston Whaler hulls

A Small Business Approach to Trailer Sales

411MarineCom started as a family-run marine business many years ago.

We still operate with the same approach today.

• We answer the phone during normal business hours.
• We verify boat fitment before recommending a trailer.
• When schedules line up, we sometimes meet customers after hours.

During certain times of the year we even plan trailer deliveries around family travel routes, helping customers receive trailers along the way.

It’s not a corporate distribution system.

It’s simply how a small American business works.

A Trailer That Has Proven Itself

The EZ Loader 96BS trailer has remained in production for years because it does exactly what boat owners need.

It’s simple.
It’s durable.
And when set up correctly, it tows extremely well.

For boaters running 16–20 ft center consoles, bay boats, and small fiberglass boats, this model continues to be one of the most dependable galvanized bunk trailers available.

Standard Features

• Hot-dip galvanized steel frame
• Adjustable carpeted bunk system
• Galvanized axle with leaf spring suspension
• Galvanized wheels with radial trailer tires
• Adjustable winch stand
• DOT-approved lighting system
• Tongue jack and safety chains

Optional upgrades may include aluminum wheels, guide posts, and alternate axle configurations depending on the boat.

Fitment Matters

Trailer selection depends on more than boat length.

Hull shape, weight distribution, and strake placement all affect how a boat sits on a trailer.

If you’re unsure which trailer configuration matches your boat, we recommend reviewing our fitment guides.

A Quick Introduction

My name is Chris Bright.

I started this business many years ago, and at the end of the day most of the decisions still land on my desk.
Sometimes I wish they didn’t.

Some of those decisions turn out great.
A few probably could have been better. I’ve certainly made errors in judgment.

If you enjoy reading negative Google reviews while sipping a little gin (my favorite), you might even find a few of them.

That’s part of running a small business.

But the responsibility — good or bad — stops here.
After all, I’m the one who writes the checks.

So when you call 411MarineCom in Hardeeville, South Carolina, you’re reaching a real trailer business run by proud American friends and family who care about what we do.

And every once in a while, you might even end up talking to me.

Sometimes you’ll get the answering machine after hours. Sometimes you’ll get me directly — as long as it’s not too late.

My parents always said:

“You just shouldn’t be doing business after 8 p.m. or on Sundays.”

I’ve tried to follow that advice… most of the time. (mom dad forgive me for “not all the time”)
