Hawaii is hard on boat trailers. Salt water and salt air destroy steel trailers fast, and replacing one on an island is expensive. We build custom aluminum boat trailers for Hawaii boat owners and ship them to Oahu, Maui, Hawaii Island and Kauai.
Your boat never leaves the island
We design the trailer from your boat's specs and a few measurements from your current trailer, so there's no need to ship the boat anywhere. We build it in San Bernardino, California, crate it, and arrange ocean freight to Hawaii through Aloha Freight from Carson, California.
Built for island salt water
An aluminum I-beam frame, galvanized torsion axles, stainless fasteners and marine disc brakes with stainless pistons resist corrosion. Most Hawaii owners add aluminum wheels, stainless steel brakes and sealed Vault hubs for even less maintenance. Every custom aluminum trailer carries our corrosion-free guarantee and a 3-year standard warranty.
We build for the boats Hawaii owners run: Radon, Force, Sea Ray and other center consoles, pontoons, catamarans and Hawaiian-built boats such as AliiKai.
What goes into every ABTrailers build
- Aluminum I-beam frame sized to the load, from 7.5 in to 10 in, so the frame never rusts.
- Galvanized torsion axles with removable, replaceable trailing arms, rated to the boat's loaded weight plus a safety margin.
- Marine disc brakes with aluminum calipers and stainless steel pistons, surge or electric over hydraulic, plus Synflex non-corrosive brake lines.
- Carpeted bunks (2x6 up to 4x10) set to your hull's deadrise, on aluminum uprights and cross members.
- Stainless steel fastener package and sealed LED lighting.
- 3-year standard warranty and our corrosion-free guarantee: a custom aluminum trailer is built to last at least three times as long as a painted or galvanized steel trailer.
How a remote custom build works
- Tell us about the boat. Year, make and model, length, beam, deadrise and loaded weight (fuel, engines and gear). Our online quote builder walks you through it.
- Send a few measurements. If you have a trailer now, a handful of measurements from it (bow eye to tires, coupler size, tongue length) tell us how the boat sits. No trailer? Your boat's specs are enough to start.
- We design the trailer to the hull. We choose the weight rating, frame, axles and brakes, and set the bunks to your hull's shape, then send a written quote.
- We build it in San Bernardino. Pick it up at our shop, or we arrange delivery and freight, including crating and ocean shipping to Hawaii and Guam.
Your boat never has to come to our shop.
Questions owners ask
How do you ship a trailer to Hawaii?
We build the trailer, crate it, and arrange ocean freight from Carson, California through Aloha Freight. Freight is quoted separately for your island.

Why aluminum for Hawaii?
Steel trailers corrode quickly in Hawaii's salt water and salt air. Our custom aluminum trailers are guaranteed corrosion free.
