WP1315 Boat Trailer Overview
The WP1315 is positioned as a single‑spring‑axle trailer designed for small to mid‑size tinnies and runabouts. Its configuration suggests a focus on simplicity, corrosion resistance, and ease of maintenance.
Key Specifications
-
Boat suitability: 4.0 m to 4.6 m hulls
-
Construction: Stainless steel components, keel roller plus skids
-
Overall trailer length: 4.8 m
-
Tare mass: 260 kg
-
ATM (Aggregate Trailer Mass): 1500 kg
-
Price: $6,990
This combination of a relatively light tare weight and a 1500 kg ATM gives you a generous payload buffer for boats in the intended size range.
How these specs translate in practice
-
Single spring axle: Best for lighter boats, easier servicing, fewer moving parts, and lower long‑term maintenance costs. Ride quality is simpler than multi‑axle setups but perfectly adequate for the size range.
-
Stainless steel components: A strong advantage if you’re launching in saltwater. Stainless hardware significantly reduces corrosion risk compared to standard galvanised fittings.
-
Keel roller + skids: A hybrid setup that supports the keel while stabilising the hull. This is common for aluminium boats and lighter fibreglass hulls.
-
1500 kg ATM: Well above what a 4–4.6 m boat typically weighs, even with fuel and gear. This gives you margin for safety and towing stability.
-
Price point ($6,990): This sits at the higher end for a single‑axle trailer in this size class, likely reflecting the stainless components and overall build quality.
How it compares to typical trailers in this range
Most 4–4.6 m boat trailers:
-
Run 750–1,200 kg ATM
-
Use galvanised rather than stainless hardware
-
Cost $3,500–$6,000 depending on brand and features
The WP1315’s higher ATM and stainless components place it in a more premium bracket, aimed at buyers who want durability and long-term reliability rather than the cheapest option.
