With a pontoon boat all you really need is a flatbed trailer, Try a
local equipment rental dealer. UD
The equipment rental dealer is not going to be very happy that you dunked
his trailer in the water, unless he equipped it with water proof lights and
had bearing buddies.
I am not sure where you would get one wide enough. The beam on the Sun
Catcher is 8'6", the full legal limit. That beam is to the pontoons, so you
would need a flatbed trailer that had the bed extent the full legal limit so
that the pontoons would rest on the bed of the trailer. This would require
that the bed be built over the top of the wheels, since the wheels would not
be able to extend past the bed and still be a legal width. This puts the
bed of the trailer fairly high, which requires the trailer to be backed
pretty deep into the water, which creates issues for the water tightness of
lights and axels plus could be an issue with the tow vehicle getting it in
that far.
If you could find a suitable trailer to rent, there is still the issue of it
being suitable for dunking in the water.
