Boatmate – further models: the collective page for trailers outside the named series, Malibu and Trailers 3700, 560 to 670 kg unladen weight, 2,721 to 3,500 kg gross weight
This page collects the Boatmate trailers that the register does not assign to any named series. Boatmate is a US manufacturer of boat trailers; the types listed here, MALIBU and TRAILERS 3700, stand in the register as separate entries, and the designations themselves give no indication of further series logic.

The register lists 2 versions here with unladen weights from 560 to 670 kg, gross weights from 2,721 to 3,500 kg, lengths from 8,150 to 8,850 mm and widths from 2,470 to 2,550 mm.
With a gross weight of up to 3,500 kg, these boat trailers fall into EU trailer category O2, for which an overrun brake is required above 750 kg. Since launching often means dipping the boat and trailer together into the water, corrosion resistance of the wheel bearings and brake system matters more on this type than on trailers that never come into contact with water.
The low unladen weight combined with a length of over 8 metres is typical of boat trailers, whose open frame is designed for loading and unloading watercraft rather than enclosed cargo; with a gross weight of up to 3.5 tonnes, they fall into the class that can still be towed on a category B or BE licence.
When buying a used boat trailer, check in particular corrosion on the chassis and axles caused by contact with water, the condition of rollers and bunks, the operation of the overrun brake and winch, and the sealing of the wheel bearings. Spare parts for such trailers usually come through independent trailer or boat workshops rather than a manufacturer network.

What to check before buying
- Search the frame and welds at the axle mounts — that is where cracks start.
- Check the brakes and the last inspection in the papers.
- Work the gross weight against the towing vehicle before buying.
- Compare the chassis number with the papers.
- Look at the floor, cover or body from the inside — rust does not show from outside.
