What brand and size--saltwater is everyday here in s. florida. Roller or float on? Edited by Jeff on 05/20/08 - 8:11 AM

They are made right there in your area and since you are there you can buy from the factory at wholesale prices. I would look in an "A" or "CA" 1830 model. 1993 23' Walkaround Whaler Drive

I would also consider side rollers for the stern to make loading effortless. They eliminate the tail wagging in the wind/waves.

The boat sits low but the trailer is narrow enough to fit in a 2 car garage with room for the car as well. The bunks were covered with carpet. There is a new product out called Snap trax www.snapptrax.com. They are plastic pieces that snap on over the wood bunks coated with teflon for easy on and off. They replace the carpet that tears. After 2 years they still work great.
