A trailer for hauling boats, the trailer comprising: a frame having a pair of opposed support beams extending about a centerline, each support beam is generally C-shaped in cross section and defines a generally hollow interior, and each support beam having a front end and a rear end and a pair of opposed front walls that define a slot extending between the front end and the rear end, the slot providing an opening to the generally hollow interior of the support beam and facing outward from the centerline; a pair of opposed light assemblies, each one of the light assemblies removably mounted to the rear end of one of the support beams such that the light assembly substantially covers the rear end; a first set of wires extending along the hollow interior of one of the support beams and in communication with the light assembly mounted thereto, and a second set of wires extending along the hollow interior of the other support beam and in communication with the light assembly mounted thereto; a pair of side panels for mounting to the front walls of the pair of opposed support beams, wherein one side panel substantially covers the slot of one of the support beams and the other side panel substantially covers the slot of the other support beam; means for slidably mounting the pair side panels to the pair of opposed support beams, whereby each support beam having one of the side panels mounted thereto defines a housing for protecting the wires therein.
