Ok, boat ordered, now working to get the ideal trailer to go along with my Perfect Boat. LOL. Figure this is my last boat, and will be trailering a lot, so might as well get it right. I have read a lot about trailer fails, and have experience a myriad of issues boating with friends over the last 15 years. So, looking for any input on key features - see My Crazy as I have researched options and summarized the data I have found in the attached. Key Issues:
Appreciate any input and pictures if you have them!

- Ladder / Winch Design (I want to be boating when I am 90, a good ladder & handrail seems KEY). Can't figure out why so few builders get this right?
- Guide Rails (my docking places can get really windy and no dock to pull it up on - horizontal guides about 1/3 from back edge ideal?)
- Bunks - Carpet or Poly?
- Transom Savers (so much data and no clear answers). Seems with trim down ideal, but still a lot of weight on Transom. Connecting boat to trailer seems jolts & bounces transfer to Motor. Motomate best solution, or is this really just a hydraulic saver and does NOT protect the motor from trailer bounce?
- Can I squeeze in my Stand Up Jet Ski between the Ladder and Toons?
Appreciate any input and pictures if you have them!
