Cheapest I've found for a new aluminum trailer on 6-lug, 15" wheels with brakes is $5500. Hoping to stay around $3-4k otherwise I might as well get a new one. :/

I've weighed this out, by the time you put 6 new tires, new brakes, and service the bearings on a 3-4k trailer (usually at that price these items are ok but not new) you will be over $5500. If there is anyway to scrape together the extra $1500 I would. But trust me I've been there when I can't get another $150!!! So I know sometimes you can only get what you can get!

It seems I have two options for a new trailer.
I can get a 15000lb gvwr aluminum trailer with brakes on all 3 axles and LED lights for either $5900 or $6450. The $5900 option is using 35', 7.5" I-beams with the bunks making up the extra length or for $6450 I can get one made using 8" I-beams 40ft long.
I'm told the boat will be balanced and pull fine either way, but the shorter I-beams and longer bunks will mean the axles will be almost all the way back on the trailer and it'll just look odd.
Thoughts?
