Catamaran trailers
Twin hulls need support under each hull, set to the exact spacing and deadrise of your boat. Wide-beam builds are our specialty.

Trailers for the boats stock trailers can’t fit
Heavy offshore hulls, twin-hull catamarans and working craft are where off-the-shelf trailers fail on fit and safety. That is the work we specialize in.
Sport fishing trailers
Bunks set to your deadrise and axles placed for your loaded weight, so a heavy offshore boat launches and loads cleanly and tows straight.

For fire, police and rescue units whose boats can’t sit idle. Built to your spec and measured remotely, so the boat stays in service.

Your boat never has to visit our shop
Most custom builders need your boat on their floor. We build from your measurements, so a 40-foot catamaran in Hawaii or a patrol boat on duty gets a fitted trailer without the haul.
We ship beyond the mainland, including Hawaii and Guam. Tell us where you launch and we’ll work out freight with you.
Send us your measurementsMeasure
You send your boat’s details and a few measurements from your current trailer. Our quote form shows you exactly where to measure.
Design
We design the trailer around your hull: bunks, side guides, bow stop and axle placement set for your boat, not pulled off a lot.
Fabricate
Our crew welds, fastens or rivets the frame in aluminum, built to stand up to salt water.
Deliver
Your trailer arrives fitted to your boat and ready for the ramp, or ships to your island by freight.
One trailer instead of three
Painted and galvanized steel rusts, especially in salt water. Every custom ABTrailer is guaranteed corrosion free and to last at least three times as long.
Add the 3-year standard warranty and factory-direct pricing, and the trailer that costs more up front is the one that costs less to own.

Repair
Frame, bunk, axle and brake repairs by the same crew that fabricates our trailers. If a repair doesn’t make sense, we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts
Replacement parts shipped to the mainland, Hawaii and beyond. Call or email with your trailer info to order.
Questions we hear most
Does my boat need to come to your shop?
No. We build custom trailers without your boat ever visiting our shop. You send your boat’s details and a few measurements from your current trailer, and we design the trailer around your hull.
What are your trailers made of?
Aluminum. We build welded, fastened and riveted aluminum trailers, and we don’t use painted or galvanized steel.
What warranty do you offer?
Every custom trailer comes with a 3-year standard warranty. Each custom aluminum trailer is also guaranteed corrosion free and to last at least three times as long as a painted or galvanized trailer.
Do you build catamaran trailers?
Yes. Catamaran trailers are one of our specialties, along with sport fishing, search and rescue, and military boat trailers. Each one is fitted to the hull spacing and shape of your boat.
Do you ship trailers to Hawaii and Guam?
Yes. We ship beyond the mainland, including Hawaii and Guam, and we ship replacement parts too. Tell us where you launch in your quote and we’ll work out freight with you.
Why buy factory direct?
We are the manufacturer, so there’s no dealer markup or salesman commission in your price. You also deal directly with the people who design and build your trailer.
What do you need to quote my trailer?
Your boat’s year, make and model, length, width (W), deadrise (DR) and weight with fuel and supplies, plus the A, B, C, D and T measurements from your current trailer if you have one. Catamarans and pontoons add bunk spacing and center guide measurements. Our online quote builder walks you through each one, and you can skip anything you’re unsure of.
Can you repair or service my existing trailer?
Yes. We’re a full-service shop for trailer maintenance, repair and parts, whether or not we built your trailer.
Do you build for agencies and the military?
Yes. We build search and rescue and military boat trailers to spec, including pintle-hook couplers for fleet tow vehicles. Send your spec sheet with your quote request.
How long does a custom trailer take to build?
Typically 4–6 weeks. Build time varies with the trailer, so we confirm it in your quote.
