I highly recommend a Continental all welded, galvanized tilt model #CV828-58B for your Montauk. This is a keel roller model for proper support of a Whaler hull, with easy launching and retrieval, and one of the few still made. It is far superior to those cheap Karavan Trailers Whaler sold under the Montauks. I use nothing but Continental trailers like this under my Whalers, one of which is 30 years old and with no rust.

Without brakes, it should be around $2000 or less.

If you want a wider 8' model, you can use the Keel Roller Series # EW1728VB

Have the trailer ordered with a 3" x 4" tongue, 2 x 4 x 5' side bunks. You should upgrade to Stoltz 12" keel rollers on SS shafts. Adjust the trailer so that all boat weight is carried on the rollers, using the side bunks only for lateral stability.
