Boats and trailers need special handling—from surge/electric brakes and long overhangs to tongue weight and sway control. Our boat & trailer program is built for runabouts, bass boats, pontoons, small sailboats, PWCs, utility/cargo/car haulers, and camper trailers. We use proper hitching, load balance checks, and TowBook photo documentation at pickup and drop-off, with LMCO/KRS-aligned processes where applicable.
What We Tow
Boat + trailer combos: bass boats, pontoons, runabouts, small sailboats, jet skis (double/stack trailers)
Utility & cargo trailers: single or tandem axle, with/without load
Auto/UTV/ATV trailers and small equipment trailers
Campers: teardrop, pop-up, and small travel trailers (weight/access confirmed at dispatch)
(We handle light and many medium-duty combinations; anything heavier than an F-150 up to and including an F-450 is medium-duty. We do not provide heavy-duty or on-water salvage.)
Common Reasons to Call
Breakdowns & blowouts: tow vehicle or trailer disabled (bearings, hubs, tires, lights)
Launch ramp retrievals: stranded tow vehicle, no-starts, or stuck on the ramp
Relocation / storage moves: marina to home, dealer to lake, seasonal storage
Accident/incident transport: safe removal to yard, shop, or insurer inspection site
How We Tow (Damage-Prevention First)
Hitching & weight checks: correct ball size, coupler lock, chains crossed, tongue weight verified, brake controller test
Brakes & lights: verify surge/electric brake function, 7-pin/4-flat adapters, working lamps/markers
Securement: transom straps, bow eye/winch strap tensioned, motor/outdrive up and pinned, bimini/canvas stowed
Road manners: extended stopping distance, controlled speeds, wide-turn planning, and sway mitigation
Flatbed options: small empty trailers can be deck-carried when safer than towing on hitch
No dragging: winch-on with skates or dollies for seized hubs; no damage to skegs, bunks, or rollers
Step-By-Step (What to Expect)
Dispatch intake: boat length/type, trailer axle count, estimated weight, hitch size, brake type, pickup/destination, access notes.
Arrival assessment: TowBook photos; tire, hub, light, and strap checks; confirm ball/coupler fit and tongue weight.
Load/secure: strap and safety chain verification; spare tire and jack location noted.
Transport: route planning for bridge heights, sharp turns, and construction; proactive ETA updates.
Delivery: final walk-around, strap/gear check, TowBook photos, itemized invoice.
Pricing Transparency
Quotes reflect mileage, trailer size/axle count, running vs. disabled components (bearings/tires), access complexity (steep drives, tight marinas), after-hours windows, and any specialty gear (dollies, deck-carry). No surprises—extras are explained before work begins whenever conditions allow.
Owner Prep Checklist
Confirm ball size (1-7/8″, 2″, 2-5/16″) and provide the key for coupler locks
