Owens & Sons is a well respected Florida builder. I'd suggest looking them up...if yo don't mind bunks

Do you need rollers or can you use bunks? Bunks are cheaper and should be easier to find in Florida. I had to sell the Owens & Sons that came with my boat because I needed rollers here in CT.

Once you get it home will you be trailering very far or often? I too think that brakes and the second axle would be nice on that long trip but probably aren't strictly needed if you have a good size tow vehicle.

In my experience the second axle helps things track a little straighter even compensating a little if your tongue weight is a little off. On the other hand, it's bascially double the maintenance (bearings, tires, etc.) going forward and makes it harder to move around in tight spots.

I chose disc brakes over drums strictly because of the easier maintenance. I hate dealing with all the little springs on drum brakes and can't see how they'd possibly hold up well in saltwater.

I also opted for torsion axles over leaf springs. I don't have a side by side comparison but I was told and now beleive that the torsion axles are a much nicer ride. I'd opt for a single torsion axle over dual leaf sprung axles I think. I'm probably biased though. I never new they existed before shopping for my trailer last summer and now think they're the best thing since sliced bread.

Unfortunately, I think unless you're oredering something new/custom made, you're not gonig to have a whole lot of options. You may end up just having to take whats available on the lot, especially if you need rollers. I contacted a couple companies down south in my search and none of them wanted anything to do with building a roller trailer.
