A trailer assembly configured to simultaneously transport personal watercraft and a pontoon, said trailer assembly comprising:
- a trailer configured to be towed, said trailer including a pair of longitudinal members and a plurality of lateral members, each of said longitudinal members having a front end and a back end;
- a first support hingedly coupled to said trailer, said first support being configured to support a pontoon, said first support including a pair of rails, each of said rails having a first end and a second end, each of said rails being elongated between said first end and said second end, each of said longitudinal members having a top side, said top side of each of said longitudinal members having one of said rails positioned thereon, said first ends being aligned with said back end and said second ends being positioned at a point closer to said front end than said back end, said second end of each of said rails being hingedly coupled to said top side of each respective longitudinal member;
- and
- a second support coupled to said trailer, said second support being configured to support a personal watercraft beneath the pontoon.

A trailer assembly configured to simultaneously transport personal watercraft and a pontoon, said trailer assembly comprising:
- a trailer configured to be towed, said trailer including a plurality of lateral members coupled to and extending between a pair of longitudinal members, each of said longitudinal members having a front end and a back end, said lateral members being spaced apart from each other and distributed between said front end and said back end, each of said lateral members having a bend thereon, said bend being centrally positioned on each of said lateral members such that each of said lateral members has a V-shape, each of said lateral members being oriented such that said bend extends downwardly between said longitudinal members;
- a first support hingedly coupled to said trailer, said first support being configured to support a pontoon, said first support comprising
- a pair of rails, each of said rails having a first end and a second end, each of said rails being elongated between said first end and said second end, each of said longitudinal members having a top side, said top side of each of said longitudinal members having one of said rails positioned thereon, said first ends being aligned with said back end and said second ends being positioned at a point closer to said front end than said back end, said second end of each of said rails being hingedly coupled to said top side of each respective longitudinal member, each of said rails including a first member and a second member, said first member and said second member being attached to each other, said first member and said second member being oriented at an angle relative to each other such that said first member and said second member forms a V-shape, said first member and said second member of one of said rails being configured to have one of a pair of floats of the pontoon positioned thereon, said first member and said second member of the other one of said rails being configured to have the other one of the pair of floats of the pontoon positioned thereon, each of said rails being positionable in a lifted position such that said first end of said rails is spaced from said top side of said longitudinal members, each of said rails being positionable in a lowered position having said rails abutting said top side, and
- a pair of lifts, one of said lifts being coupled between one of said lateral members and one of said rails, the other one of said lifts being coupled between another one of said lateral members and the other one of said rails, each of said lifts urging said rails between said lifted position and said lowered position;
- and
- a second support coupled to said trailer, said second support being configured to support a personal watercraft beneath the pontoon, said second support comprising a pair of legs coupled to said lateral members, each of said legs being positioned on opposite sides of each bend in said lateral members, each of said legs being substantially coextensive with said longitudinal members, each of said legs being configured to support the personal watercraft beneath a deck of the pontoon after the pontoon is positioned on said rails, each of said rails being positionable in said lifted position when the pontoon is on said trailer such that the personal watercraft is removable from said trailer.
