Default Trailer - aluminum, full roller, stainless brakes, movable trucks, where?

Are there any co. that offer a aluminum trailer, under 1500 lbs, for a 25 ft boat, 8600 lb capacity, with Kodiak stainless brakes, stainless hardware, full poly rollers, and movable rear roller trucks (not like Loadrite aluminum trailer roller trucks) ? This is the type of trailer that makes sense in this day and age in New England but no one seems to sell one. Any suggestions are very welcome. Many come close but don't have all these features.
thanks in advance

I would avoid a roller trailer.Bunks are the way to go.I don't know of any boat manufacture/dealer here in Fl that sells or recomends rollers.

I live in New England. I 've had to winch a 5,000lb boat up on a sand beach with a gradual drop off. Makes rollers kindof a necessity. Most ramps have no docks, current, wind exposure, holes, 11 ft tides, etc. I guess I need a trailer manufacturer that uses aluminum that isn't in the south.

thanks I'll check them out. I was using a fulton handwinch but got a T4000 Powerwinch last year. Had one strap go off like a shotgun 2 years ago. I was expecting to get another T4000. BTW, have you looked at the new plastic rollers? I paid $1,000 for my Poly Rollers in 99 but I heard the new plastics have equiv. perf. to the Poly..
