Trailers and CarriersBelow are a few trailers we use for hauling the Ultraskiff. They are available in stores and online at Harbor Freight and Northern Tools as well as Amazon.com. You can use any small boat, PWC or Utility Trailer for transporting the Ultraskiff but if you intend on submerging the trailer at a boat ramp you will need a Jet Ski or Boat trailer so you have the length required and wheel bearings that are more corrosion resistant. If your just looking for something functional and economical we recommend small Utility Kit Trailers. Assembly is required but they do the job of carting the boat around. Watch our Video where we demonstrate it with the Ultraskiff.

Hitch Mounted Carriers
The Ultraskiff can also be transported on a Cargo Carrier or a Wheel Chair Carrier that has a ramp attached. The economical Harbor Freight Wheel Chair Carrier with the detachable ramp is the ideal choice that I currently use. The ramp is detachable by using the bolts and a couple cotter pins to take it on and off. There are many different brands and types of wheel chair carriers on the market, a simple internet search can reveal ones that fold up on your hitch. I zip tied a couple of external trailer lights to the rear of the carrier. To secure the Ultraskiff to the carrier I run 2 ratchet straps through the center hole to secure and attach them to the strap rings that come with the carrier. Running additional straps through the molded tow ring can help in adding additional security. Watch our Video where we demonstrate it with the Ultraskiff.
