The A model trailer on the left is the least expensive trailer we manufacture. That said, our A model trailer surpasses our competition in quality of materials and workmanship. At Dixie Craft Trailers, Inc. we put the same amount of time and and quality into all of our trailers. Read below to see how these trailers and others measure up to our competition.

The SGA model trailer on the right is the drive-on version of the A model trailer. The guide boards are 4' (four foot) long and are fully adjustable to fit the sides of your boat. The guide boards enable you to easily load and unload your boat every time. Read below for more details about the SGA series trailers.

How does Dixie Craft Trailers, Inc. compare to our competition?

There are four distinct features in our A Model and SGA Model Trailers that clearly stand out over our competition.

1. 10' Bunks. These bunks give the boat full support from front to back. Most other brands of trailers have a short set of bunks on the rear of the trailer and short blocks or a roller on the front.

2. Full frame trailer. Our frames are long enough that no part of the boat sits out past the bunks on the rear. Our rear cross-member is always within 3" to 4" from the end of the bunk. Also, we allow plenty of room between the winch stand and coupler for lowering your tailgate and ease of use. On cheaper trailers, the bunk extends past the rear cross-member 12" to 18", and is unsupported.
On even cheaper models, neither the frame nor bunks are long enough. On those trailers, the rear of the boat is suspended without support. Is this where you want your expensive motor to sit?

3. Transom Tie Downs. Our rear tie-down holders are set out 6" from the rear of the trailer so the transom tie downs will work properly without rubbing the boat. With the boat over hang on the rear of cheaper trailers, you will have to use a gunnale tie down. These are difficult to attach and almost impossible to tighten and keep tightened.

4. 4" Bow Roller and end caps. You will not find 4" rollers and end caps on any other brand trailer in this size category. These rollers and end caps give more support on the front than the more common 3" rollers.
