It took a lot of searching but I found, purchased and took ownership last weekend of a new keel roller trailer for my 1979 22' Revenge from a relatively local dealer. It is a customized Loadmaster 2426 and I bought it from S&S Marine in Norfolk. Talk to Gary. I also worked with Jeff from Loadmaster when I initiated conversation with that company. If you are interested in buying something similar, he can get you hooked up with a local dealer. It only took a couple weeks for the trailer to be constructed and shipped to Norfolk. Both Gary and Jeff were great to work with.

It has 8 rollers but after I make a modification it will have 10. All back to back. It also has two 2x4 bunks for balance. After tweaking the bunk placement, the old boat rolls on and off the trailer with ease and not a lot of water depth. It sits about 3-4" lower than it did on my EZ-Loader Wobble Roller Trailer.

Here are the specs:

Aluminum I beam construction
Tandem Axle (Torsion)
4 wheel disk surge brakes with electric reverse disengage
8 12" Stoltz rollers with stainless pins
Stainless hardware
2 bunks: 2" x 4" X 7.5' --I wish they were a little shorter but with the spacing of the cross members that would be tough.
Guide posts
14" tires

It came with a "device" that included two PVC pipes, a single keel roller, and a Mylar pad. I'm not sure what they call it but I did not ask for it. Essentially it is a "bow catcher" and bow support. The bow of the boat rests on the mylar pad and does not touch the associated keel roller. I'm sure it works great with some boats but not mine so it will soon to be replaced by 2 more keel rollers. It's not bad but I'm going to put that one roller to use.

I posted a couple photos on my personal page.
