I have to agree with Bill's Auto Works
if the price new is less than the $7500.00 it would take to replace my open Featherlite, it is built cheaply. Now this might not be a problem if you are only going to use it once in a while, but if you are going to put any serious miles on it you should probably look for a used one of a higher quality!
I use a Triton Prestige low boy with surge disc brakes. 20' with a 5' V . tips the scales @ #2,800 . I pull this with a 1500 GMC crew cab truck with a 5.3 motor. I have pulled all over the states. Have over 200K miles trailering experience and would only consider a trailer that is 100% made of aluminum. Also I live in Alaska and I can attest that we have the worse roads of any 48 states.
