Capes, your right about pricing. It does vary quite abit.

After looking at the load-right design and its price I think I am now leaning toward the 5800# Venture. It has a strong T brace at the Y and the rollers are excellent. 56 of them. (all non-maring silicon-like) It also has a better rear light protection and I like the heavy fiberglass step-up fenders. There is a guy in warren RI selling them for about $3250 which is about 200 less then the fellow on the cape. THis guy is new in the trailer business and seems to have a better price for these. The next smaller model is rated for 5400 and it has 48 rollers but the frame is a little lighter but the price is 2750. I think I will oversize it i click and go with the 5800.

Its funny, some elements of boating are not reviewed like boats and motors are...how about a trailers?

After speaking to several trailer guys it seems like you want to have about 100# per roller when you size these things.

Have any of you guys heard of Venture trailers? They had them at the show and I thought they looked pretty well made.
