Description
EZ Loader 68BT 14–17 ft • 1,250 lb Galvanized Boat Trailer
The EZ Loader 68BT 14–17 ft galvanized jon boat trailer supports lightweight boats that launch from creeks, rivers, backwaters, and shallow ramps. Aluminum jon boats, flat-bottom fishing boats, shallow-V hulls, and small V-hull aluminum fishing boats commonly pair well with this compact trailer.
With a 1,250 lb carrying capacity, the 68BT works well for boats in the 12- to 16-foot range. Its compact single-axle design keeps the trailer easy to tow and maneuver while still providing dependable bunk support.
Knott Torsion Axle Suspension
This configuration uses a Knott torsion axle. Torsion suspension typically delivers a smoother, more controlled ride than many small leaf-spring trailers. The result is less bounce and more predictable towing, especially on uneven pavement, rough roads, or older launch ramps.
Galvanized Construction and Adjustable Setup
The 68BT uses galvanized steel construction designed to resist corrosion in both freshwater and saltwater environments. This makes the trailer a practical option for boat owners who launch frequently or store their trailer outdoors.
Adjustable components allow the trailer to match different hull shapes. Bunk position, winch stand alignment, and trailer balance can be adjusted so the boat loads straight, rides centered, and tows with consistent weight distribution.
Typical Boats Matched to This Trailer
The EZ Loader 68BT trailer is commonly used with lightweight boats such as:
• aluminum jon boats in the 12–16 ft range
• flat-bottom fishing boats
• small V-hull aluminum fishing boats
• shallow-draft skiffs and micro-skiffs
• Carolina Skiff J-series boats such as the J12 or J14
• small sailing dinghies including Sunfish-style boats
As with any trailer selection, final fitment depends on factors such as boat weight, beam width, and bow eye location.
Fitment Checklist
Before confirming a trailer match, it helps to have a few details about the boat available:
• boat make, model, and year
• hull type (flat bottom, shallow-V, etc.)
• engine size and approximate weight
• estimated total boat weight including fuel and gear
These details allow the trailer setup to be adjusted so the boat loads correctly and tows with balanced weight.
