True, except like all good Govt rules there is this statement under the light trailer rules that says: How are other types of light trailer classified! Some boat trailers, caravans or garden trailers cannot be classified as simple trailers. Their design, or the points of attachment to the towing vehicle, is closer to the design described for heavy trailers in Factsheet 13c, Heavy combination vehicles. For details on other types of trailer, read this information on full, semi, simple and pole trailers, as well as A- and B-train combinations.
That sheet goes on to talk about the need for wider trailers to be allowed if you want to carry an "indivisable" load. Would that not mean that depending on the circumstances you maybe able to go wider than 2.5!

. Nope standard width is 2.5. on a boat trailer over 2.1 requires a side marker lighter( eather on lightbar or pole, mud gaurd,s etc.
