What kind of trailer for an inflatable boat?

[TDiniz]

I'm buying an inflatable this weekend, and I don't want to drag it across the beach to launch it, so I would like to get a trailer, now the local trailer dealer has two short trailers, one for a boat and one for a PWC, I was told a PWC trailer is the one to get, but the bunks are too close together.

Ribs do well on bunks... Soft floors, not so much...

I think I'm looking at a SIB, it's got a soft hull.

No need to spend that much. Just about any trailer (including a utility trailer which would be my first choice) can be easily adapted for an inflatable. Very wide bunks or even a sheet of plywood will do the trick. Just use something soft for padding and you'll be in the ham fat. If you're concerned about weight you can add a winch, rollers, or tilt mechanism. All sorts of possibilities.
