I have a venture for my 23 seacraft good for 5700#. Seems good for the $. Great rollers..and lots of them! Breaks seem fine but they are not disk. Comes with the flush kit. Pricing is pretty good. I cant recall what I paid exactly... but my best price was in RI.

The basic winch is pretty basic, if you do a lot of trailering you will not want to crank 5000# after a days fishing. (I put my boat in may and take it out in Nov. so I don't trailer much. All winter it is on the trailer and I only go 0.2 mi to the water in May. That said, I took the boat from LI to MV on it and it was fine, no problems.
Get some bearing buddies and a power winch if you use it alot.

I looked around a little but different seacraft 2 dealers told me these were very good for my boat although others would clearly be fine as well. I have nothing against any of the other brands but I think you can get a heavier trailer and save a few hundred with a venture. Also, I like the HD plastic stand-on fenders.

good luck
