Description
A Light Aluminum Hauler Built for One Personal Watercraft
Anything that spends its working life half-submerged either corrodes or it is made of aluminum. This pre-owned 2020 Karavan WCA-1250 takes the second route: welded tubular aluminum from tongue to tail, rated for fresh or salt water, and light enough at 250 lbs empty that a crossover with a 2 in. ball can tow it without noticing.
It is a single-place design, which keeps everything simple for the owner of one ski. There is no second bunk set to align at the ramp, no extra length to park, and the swivel flip-up wheel jack lets you push the trailer into a tight garage corner by hand once the season ends. The 1,250 lb payload covers a loaded runabout-class watercraft with a full tank and gear aboard.
Karavan built the corrosion resistance into the details rather than just the frame. Wiring is fully grounded and concealed instead of stapled along an exposed rail, the safety cables are coated and self-coiling, and the Sure-Lube bearing system lets you push fresh grease through the hubs after a salt-water weekend in a couple of minutes.

Sizing this one is quick arithmetic. Look up the dry weight of your watercraft, add fuel and whatever lives in the hatch, and compare that against the 1,250 lb payload rather than against the 1,500 lb GVWR. Then measure your hull: the 172 in. frame length and 60 in. overall width tell you whether the rig clears your garage door and fits the parking pad you have in mind.
On any used watercraft trailer the wear items are predictable, so put your attention on the bunk carpet, the winch strap and the wheel bearings before the first launch, and confirm your hitch actually carries a 2 in. ball rather than a 1-7/8 in. one. The adjustable bunks are the feature that matters most day to day, because they let you move the support points under the strong part of your specific hull instead of living with a factory guess.
