That looks like an EZ Loader, very similar to the one I have under my Seafari, except that mine has 8 more rollers on aft X-member. (see pictures below) You can buy those parts from EZ Loader to add more rollers. I added 3 more keel rollers to mine. They're great trailers with virtually zero maintenance in salt water because those rollers have so little friction that you don't have to dunk it! The rollers have nylon sleeves riding on aluminum shafts, so no maintenance there. Can launch/retrieve at any ramp with only getting the tires wet, as shown in 2nd picture below - have had mine for over 25 years and still have original springs and axle; paid about $1900 for it new, rated at 4000 lb capacity. Check EZ Loader web site to see what capacity is with that roller setup. I did recently replace aft X-member because it was rusty but it still had over 50% of original thickness left and was not sagging.
I'd recommend adding a power winch. You need to use the clutch on it as a brake to prevent it from rolling off the trailer too fast! Fred, does it have the 6-lug wheels? If so, it's a 6000 lb axle setup. What size/load range tires are on it? Denny
