5 grand is WAYYYY too high. Hell, 2 grand is nearing my threshold for a new trailer. Check on Craigslist, I'll bet that you can find a really nice tandem trailer for less than $1500. It took me less than 3 minutes to find this one on CL. http://longisland.craigslist.org/boa/4482682005.html

Destroyer, that trailer is way too beautiful to back it down the ramp into saltwater.

A week ago I bought a "LONG" brand roller trailer like Skunkboat's for $500. Tandem axle, galvanized, electric winch, no rust except for some surface rust on the springs, built like a tank. Needs 3 keel rollers replaced and has one mismatched wheel.

I will say this, Working on old rusty boat trailers sucks and working on one that's not even your own sucks even more. I'll bet a good part of that 2 grand is labor.
