Description
EZ Loader T102BS 17’–20′ • 4,400 lb Galvanized Bay Boat Set Up (14″ Wheels)
The EZ Loader T102BS 17–20 4400 Bay Boat Saltwater is a Tandem-axle, bunk-style trailer built for 17–20 ft Bay or Deep V-hull boats. It’s a strong fit for fiberglass and aluminum boats—like bay boats, skiffs, and deep-V/modified-V fishing rigs—when you want stable towing.
EZ Loader T102BS Trailer Upgrades on This Build
This configuration includes practical upgrades for smoother towing and easier long-term ownership:
ST205/75R14D radial tires
Lionshead Galvanized wheels for Easy Longer Term Balancing (we suggest for smoother ride)
DX1 – 10″ Disc Brakes x One Rear Axle ( 2nd Axle Brake Set up available additionally)
- 18″ Extended Tongue
Why the Extended Tongue Helps on the EZ Loader T102BS Trailer
An extended tongue improves day-to-day usability, especially at shallow ramps:
Backs straighter and tracks more predictably
Helps keep your tow vehicle out of deeper water
Reduces saltwater exposure to your truck/SUV
Adds room for options like a 4–6 step aluminum boat ladder
In plain terms, the added tongue length makes launching and loading easier—particularly in tidal current and wind.
Why a spring axle is a smart choice in this size range
Leaf-spring suspension is popular for a reason:
Easy to service almost anywhere (common parts and simple repairs)
Cost-effective over the long haul
Works well for mixed use: short trips, longer tows, and uneven ramps
Torsion Axle Option (By Request)
Prefer torsion? This model can be ordered with torsion axles by request. Typical lead time is 1–5 business days with a $100 deposit and a signed invoice.
Galvanized finish and the “ramp life” advantage
This trailer has a hot-dipped galvanized finish. If you launch in saltwater—or even just live near salt air—galvanizing helps reduce corrosion over time.
Another practical benefit: galvanized steel trailers often don’t “float” and drift as easily during loading in strong tidal current compared with some aluminum builds.
Common equipment (typical 96 or 102 “BS” themes)

Why 411Marine is becoming EZLoaderTrailers411.com
Most trailer problems aren’t caused by the frame. They come from setup changes over time. Boats get repowered. Loads change. Bunks compress. Ramps and conditions vary.
That’s where an engaged dealer matters.
