Pontoon trailers are subject to stress that most boat trailers don’t encounter. Ordinary trailers carry the weight of the boat, no matter how large, primarily over the center of the axles. A couple of strong bunks down the center of the trailer and the largest boat will go down the road safely.
Our 20' pontoon trailers have 4 cross braces,
22'-24' have 5 cross braces and 26'-28' have 6 cross braces and a reinforced front and stern. [links]
Pontoon trailers carry the weight of the pontoon boat on 72” or 77” centers. The weight of the boat is carried on the outer edges of the trailer frame and the axle. The frame is subject to twisting and flexing that ordinary boat trailers do not encounter. That’s why its important to connect the side rails of the frame in as many places as possible, to strengthen the frame.
Got a 21 ft Sun Tracker Party Barge and right now it sits on my boatlift. Would like to find an old conventional V hull trailer and convert it to carry the Toon. Not looking really to travel it other than in/out of the water and parking it alongside the house for maintenance.
Re: Converting a trailer to carry a pontoon?
Converting to a pontoon trailer, especially to the type you are talking about, isn't cheap or easy. At a minimum, its a lot of metal, welding, painting, sanding, grinding. You will also need new tires, if you leave the larger boat tires on there you are going to have a very high pontoon prone to tipping over! more

Anybody do this before or know where to find pics of some homemade conversions?
I understand one of the problems would be tire size and trailer width of a standard trailer besides mounting hardware? more
