Abstract
A boat trailer constructed from a polymer composition that eliminates rust and corrosion commonplace in steel or aluminum trailers used in salt water or over salted roads. The trailer employs a support plate that reinforces an inner and outer wall forming a one piece construction that includes a matrix of support walls that can be scaled to accommodate large boats.
Claims17
A trailer comprising:
- a frame constructed of polymer, said frame having a continuous outer wall spaced apart from an inner wall by a bottom wall forming a U-shaped front left beam, a side left beam, a rear beam, and right beam, and a U-shaped front right beam;
- a substantially rectangular section defined by said left beam, said rear beam, and said right beam formed integral with a triangular shaped towing section defined by said front left beam and said front right beam;
- a plurality of rectangular support members defined by lateral walls and longitudinal walls within said rectangular section;
- a plurality of triangular support members defined by side walls within said triangular shaped towing section;
- a wheel assembly secured to said frame;
- a cap having a continuous sidewall constructed and arranged to be attached to said frame having a channel beam extending the length of said rectangular section and a transition beam extending the length of said triangular shaped towing section, wherein said channel beam is seated between said rectangular support members and said triangular support members;
- and
- a cord having a thickness therebetween said frame and said cap whereby forming a monocoque or one-piece composite frame when assembled.
