Magic Tilt #67834 Dufrene

The Magic Tilt #67834 Dufrene is a Magic Tilt ET16W-1700 galvanized single axle tilt-style boat trailer for wide-beam boats up to 16 feet with a 1,700 lb gross vehicle weight rating, running B78x13C tires on 13-inch wheels, available now at Skipper B Trailers in Westwego, Louisiana. The ET16W-1700 is the upgraded capacity version of the Economy Tilt Wide series — same tilt convenience and wide-beam bunk spacing as the base ET16W, but with a higher 1,700 lb GVWR that handles the heavier boats in the wide-beam 16-foot class. Wide-beam 16-foot boats with bigger motors, heavier construction, or more equipment push the loaded weight beyond what the base capacity handles — the 1,700 lb rating provides the margin for the heavier combinations in this boat class. The tilt bed pivots at the axle so the boat slides on and off the bunks by gravity, making launching and loading dramatically easier at every ramp depth.

Louisiana anglers running heavier wide-beam 16-foot boats — the wider aluminum boats with 40-60 HP motors, the heavy-construction flat bottoms, and the wide-beam V-hulls carrying trolling motors, batteries, live wells, and a full day's gear — need the capacity that matches the loaded weight. A 16-foot wide-beam boat with a 50 HP outboard, full fuel tank, two batteries, tackle, and ice easily pushes total trailer weight past 1,500 lbs, and the 1,700 lb GVWR on this ET16W provides comfortable margin. The tilt feature remains the operational advantage — the bed pivots to dip the bunks into the water for gravity-assisted loading and launching, keeping the tow vehicle on dry ground at the shallow ramps and variable-depth launches at Bayou Segnette State Park, Lake Pontchartrain, and the older public ramps across Jefferson Parish and the Greater New Orleans West Bank. The wide-beam bunk spacing supports the hull at the correct contact points for proper weight distribution, preventing the bunk-edge pressure that damages hulls on standard-width trailers. The galvanized frame handles every saltwater and brackish water submersion. Whether you're Fishing Fanatic Frank whose loaded wide-beam 16-footer exceeds the base model capacity, Weekend Warrior Will who wants tilt convenience for his heavier wide-beam boat, New Boater Nancy and Nick matching a trailer to a heavier 16-foot aluminum boat, or any wide-beam boat owner who needs the higher GVWR with tilt capability, the ET16W-1700 delivers both.

At $1,450.00, the Magic Tilt ET16W-1700 provides upgraded 1,700 lb capacity with tilt convenience and wide-beam bunk spacing. Magic Tilt has been building tilt trailers since 1953 — the tilt design is their signature innovation. The galvanized construction holds resale value and eliminates rust maintenance. Verify your boat's beam width and loaded weight to confirm the wide-beam configuration and 1,700 lb GVWR are the correct fit. Perfect for heavier wide-beam boats up to 16 feet throughout Greater New Orleans, the West Bank, and the Gulf Coast corridor.
