Jetski trailer would be ideal
John, somewhat depends on the hull shape. A planing hull can be carried on a jetski or bunk trailer, a displacement hull should be carried on a roller trailer. I have mine on a roller trailer.
not the best picture, all the pictures I have are of the boat, not the trailer!
I also use a transom saver, to support the motor so not to put all the stress on the motorboard, but the 2" solid mahogany, with 4 SS 3/8" through bolts would certainly support a 78 lbs motor!

a roller trailer does not have to be backed nearly as far into the water, you can keep the rims and hubs dry by not having to back down the ramp nearly as far, and using the winch to pull the boat on the trailer. A bunk usually supports the boat better, but you can pretty much match that with more rollers/ bunk style multi roller beds. but for a boat as small and light as a sneak, you can pretty much winch onto a bunk trailor the same way, but launching may be more of an issue. its really personal preferance, or the depth/steepness of local ramps

I am using a jet ski trailer with bunks. I moved the wench forward to get the entire boat on the bunks instead of it hanging 3' off the back. it rolls very well even with the 480x8 tires.
