1244T

The Firstload 1244T is a small single-axle tilt boat trailer sized for 12-foot jon boats with wider (approximately 44-inch) bottoms, along with comparable skiffs and utility hulls. Sold under the First Load(TM) name associated with Rocket Marine Inc./Rocket International of Fort Myers, Florida, it belongs to the entry-level class of galvanized jon-boat trailers commonly paired with light aluminum boats at Florida marine dealerships. The tilt mechanism lets the frame pivot so the boat slides off the bunks for launching without backing the wheels deep into the water, a convenience at steep or shallow ramps. Trailers of this type typically feature a galvanized steel frame for rust resistance, a single sprung axle with small-diameter wheels and tires, adjustable carpeted bunks, a winch stand with manual winch and bow stop, and submersible tail lights. The wider bunk spread of a 44-inch-class model gives flat-bottom jons extra stability in transit. As a light-duty unit, it is suited to boat-motor-gear loads typically several hundred pounds, and its low empty weight makes it manageable by hand and towable by compact vehicles. Factory specifications for this model number could not be verified, so confirm capacity and dimensions with the dealer or manufacturer.
