Default New trailer suggestions for my 20' (Seafari)?

Hi all, so my 1991 single-axle Magic Roller trailer is getting a little long in the tooth, and on Saturday I snapped the cable upon reload on our first boating day of the year. I'd like to know your suggestions for a new replacement for my 20' Seafari. A search showed some hits for Owens and Sons. I'm in NY if that affects my shopping options...

I'm fine staying with a single axle due to less maintenance, price, and maneuverability, but can be persuaded into a duel axle also... We do currently trailer the boat (for at least the next 3 years...) Typical trip to the ramp is 15 miles each way, with mixed highway/local roads, and I do carry trailer roadside coverage in case of emergencies.

Any recommendations, suggestions, etc? Bunk vs. rollers? I've used a roller trailer my entire life and I'm a little concerned about bunks having me dip my trailer/vehicle deeper to load/unload. My home ramp is a gentle slope, and another ramp I use occasionally has a drop-off that I'd need to stay clear of (with a single axle).

The "alignment feature" of bunks is a desirable characteristic, since my SeaCraft is ALWAYS crooked on the damn roller trailer (weight of oil tank and battery on starboard side maybe?)!

What trailers fit the 20' SeaCraft hull the best? Ideally I'd purchase something set up already as life has never been crazier.
