I favor roller trailers also for the same reason! That's a steal if those cross members pivot like those on an EZ Loader. I paid about $1800 for mine brand new about 25 years ago! Some of those rollers look like they've aged, so I'd question how long it's been sitting out in the sun. The EZ Loader roller system with aluminum spindles and nylon bushings is by far the best, but I prefer the yellow plastic rollers. The black rollers can leave tracks on your boat, although they clean off easily.

I wasn't sure how many rollers would be adequate, but it seems like it has more than enough. Not sure if they pivot, though. I'm afraid this one might not be long enough, but I'll take a look to confirm. Thanks for the input.

It looks like that trailer is an exact copy of an EZ Loader roller setup. The cross members are attached to a bracket that's bolted to the frame rail above the cross member and they pivot about that bolt. The pivoting rear cross member is important . . . when the CG of the boat gets aft of the cross member, it and the entire bank of rollers tilts. You'd better have a good brake on the winch at that point to keep it from screaming off the trailer! There is very little friction in that roller system!
