Self-propelled

Self-propelled boat movers are not trailers in the strictest sense of the word. They are hydraulically operated boat movers, with their own Prime mover (tractor unit). They share all of the features of hydraulic boat trailers.

Non-commercial boat trailers

This type of trailer is usually used by the boat owner/operator. The trailer is also used for storage.
