We have a great trailer for your 14' boat!

It's the CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat and Kayak Trailer, part # CE48870. This 14' long trailer can support up to 800 pounds and has submersible LED tail lights, just like the Malone MicroSport, part # MPG460G, that you mentioned. In fact, every plus that the MicroSport, the CE Smith Multi Sport has as well, including a galvanized steel frame and leaf spring suspension.

Unlike the MicroSport, though, this trailer has a built-in hand-crank winch for loading your boat, eliminating the need to buy and install a separate one. The MicroSport does not feature a mounting place for a winch, so in order to install one, you would need to drill into the frame or possible even weld a bracket onto it. The CE Smith Multi Sport is the much better alternative.

I've linked to a video review of this trailer for you to look at.
