I use this one from Fred Meyer. It works great for my 12' jon boat, and doubles as a trash hauler. I'm also planning on building some boards so I can use it to haul my pontoon.

Lotech Joe and I compared notes in a previous thread since we have the same trailer. We both love it. It was under $200 on sale. It's a do-it-yourself assembly job, and does not come with the lumber, so you could customize it for your boat. The best part about this trailer is it folds up in half like a ping-pong table so you can push it up against a garage wall or the side of your house. Very light but holds 1000lbs, and tows straight as an arrow at 75mph.

For the money, and especially the versatility, it's a great purchase. Especially considering the alternative (see rusty trailer in the ad below).

Craiglist: Used Trailer $200

FYI... This trailer was in today's Fred Meyer newspaper ad, $199. WHen I bought mine I also used a "generic" 10% off coupon that was in the same insert, bringing it down to $189.
