Jackie,
I have used Load-Rite and Shore-lander. Both are good trailers. When you select one you have to look at what it is made of vs. your use (painted trailers don't last long in salt water - galvanized is the only way to go). Other thing to look at is how close to the ground the skis actually sits. Closer to the ground the easier to launch because it doesn't require as much water. I had a Karavan that made the skis sit about three inches higher than the shore-lander... and believe me.. that three inches was the difference between my truck being in or out of the water.

Jackie I have a Galvanized custom double trailer I will sell. I would have to look at the title for the brand name, cant remember.
I totaly redid the trailer. Cut the metal fenders off and bolted on heavy plastic ones. I also drillled 17/32 drain holes in the bottom of every tube. When I had it galvanized, it galvanized inside the tubes along with the outside. Welded in tie down loops in the rear and also the front of the ski. I narrowed the trailer so it would fit in a 8' wide garage door.
Oh yea LED lights all the way around.
New winches.
I use to haul my GPR and superjet/blaster 2 on it with no problem.

Im near Houston if your this way.
