Magic Tilt #67742 Daigrepont
The Magic Tilt #67742 Daigrepont is a Magic Tilt SK1765H-1700 galvanized single axle skiff trailer for 17-foot boats with a 65-inch beam width, heavy-duty construction, and a 1,700 lb gross vehicle weight rating, running B78x13C tires on 13-inch wheels, available now at Skipper B Trailers in Westwego, Louisiana. Every detail of this trailer is engineered for a specific boat — SK designates skiff configuration, 17 is the boat length, 65 is the bunk spacing in inches matched to a 65-inch beam, H indicates heavy-duty construction, and 1700 is the GVWR. The 65-inch beam width positions the bunks significantly wider than the narrower skiff models, supporting the broader 17-foot skiffs that carry more beam for stability in open water. The H designation means heavier-duty frame construction — upgraded from the standard skiff platform to handle the additional weight that 17-foot skiffs with larger motors and more equipment carry.
Louisiana anglers running 17-foot skiffs fish the versatile middle ground — big enough to handle Lake Pontchartrain, the Barataria waterways, and the protected nearshore coastal waters, yet shallow-draft enough to access the bayous, marsh channels, and skinny-water flats around Bayou Segnette and throughout the wetlands of Jefferson Parish and the West Bank. A 17-foot skiff with a 65-inch beam is a capable platform that carries a 60-90 HP outboard, trolling motor, batteries, live well, and a full day's tackle and provisions. That loaded weight demands the heavy-duty H construction — standard skiff trailer frames flex under the heavier 17-foot combinations during towing on Interstate 10, Highway 90, the Westbank Expressway, and the rough parish roads between Westwego, Marrero, Harvey, and Gretna. The H-rated frame handles the loaded weight without the flex and fatigue that standard-duty frames develop over thousands of miles. The 65-inch bunk spacing is critical — too narrow and the hull sits on bunk edges, too wide and the bunks miss the hull contact entirely. The 65-inch match contacts the hull at the correct beam position for even weight distribution. The galvanized frame provides full corrosion resistance through years of saltwater and brackish water launches. Whether you're Fishing Fanatic Frank matching a heavy-duty trailer to his loaded 17-foot skiff, a serious marsh and coastal angler who needs the upgraded frame for a heavier rig, New Boater Nancy and Nick investing in the right trailer for a 17-foot skiff with 65-inch beam, or any skiff owner whose boat needs the H-rated capacity, this Magic Tilt is purpose-built for your hull.
At $1,770.39, the Magic Tilt SK1765H-1700 provides beam-specific, heavy-duty galvanized trailering for 17-foot skiffs. Magic Tilt has been building boat trailers since 1953, and the SK series addresses the specific hull geometry and weight requirements of skiff-class boats. The galvanized construction holds resale value and eliminates rust maintenance. Verify your skiff's beam width matches the 65-inch bunk spacing before purchasing. Perfect for 17-foot skiffs, wide-beam shallow-draft boats, and heavy-duty skiff trailering throughout Greater New Orleans, the West Bank, and the Gulf Coast corridor.
