Ultra what type of 2place enclosed are you pulling that allows you to still use a deck. Most that i've seen the hitch is so short you can't.

I've got a late 90s Triton Elite with a Top Cap fiberglass enclosure. The tongue on that trailer is extra long so no jack knifing to unload. Though I don't do decks, I can guarantee you that my trailer would never get close to a deck, no matter how far it hung out. Don't know if Triton still does the long tongue but I would check them out.

I bought a FLOE. Very nice trailer. Very light trailer and the tongue is long enough to allow a 90 degree jack knife with a dually. Floe makes a 12', 14', 16', 20', 28' and a 32'. I am using the 12'. I would definitely buy one again. I think the 12' enclosed is about 1100 lbs.
With 2 sleds on the truck, a 28' and four sleds I believe would be manageable. I think the 28' enclosed is around 2000 lbs.
I am convinced 2 on the truck is the way to go if you have to haul 4 sleds. If I just need two sleds I will use a 1/2T and the Floe which also works good.
Some of these trailers with steel frames are up to 4500lbs empty. That's fine on dry roads but scary on ice.
