Any recommendations for a trailer for my 23 scepter? Roller vs bunks??

I like bunks. Aluminum trailer with Tandum axles, (3500#/ea) that nets out a true 6K boat carrying capacity. Get SST trailer brakes, preferably both axles.

Google Owens trailers, I had one of their alum bunk trailers shipped up to MA from FL, it is perfect.

Ditto on Owens, wonderful trailer. I've had mine 10 or 12 years.

Whether you want bunks or rollers has a lot to do with the ramps in your area. Florida has mostly long, shallow ramps, perfect for bunks, my preference. If your ramps are steep and particularly if they are short, rollers might be a better choice.

Not sure how it was shipped but I posted that Frank Mole Transport was empty headed from Fla up north on here - it happens often - north or south. Without a boat bet it would be cheap

Owens is very good
