What's the boat weigh? Single axle is good up to about a ton.

Don't know the boat, is it aluminum or fiberglass? How big's the motor?

hope it helps

I would think a single axel trailer would be fine for that boat. Even though it has all the bells and whistles if still wouldn't be over 2,000LBS. Unless you are towing with a smaller vehicle I wouldn't think you would need trailer brakes either. I towed a 19ft boat that weighed over 2400LBS with a single axel trailer with no problems.

Do you want new or used?

Where are you located, or are you willing to travel unlimited miles to get it?

new or used at this time. the one i looked at was in the 3000 range and i thought that was very high for a alumium trailer

Still don't know if you're talking a tinny or a late 80's fiberglass bass boat. (I have an 88 bass tracker FS1800 with a 150 on it, for instance) Needs a lot more trailer than a 18' tinny with a 90 on it.

And our recommendation on where to get a trailer, will vary greatly if you are in San Francisco, or Memphis.
