Look at allprowest.com website. Not that you are close to them or not, and not that I recommend them, but they do have a large selection of ATV trailers to help you make a decision. There are several open models that would fit your needs for a lot less than the Tritons. I have been doing quite a lot of looking around lately. My current open trailer is a 101x10 ft, and I can barely get 3 on it. Definately NOT a safe situation in my book, but it is what I have to work with.
My oldest son has me pulling cars all over the Mid Atlantic region, so buying an open Car hauler is also an option. I figure I could kill two birds with one stone. This will make 3 trailers in the driveway. ( I have to get rid of the smaller open trailer once I get the new one.) I have pretty much settled on a Sure-trac 20 ft open car hauler with 10,000 GVWR. That will pretty much do everything I need it to do, and I can get one for under 4K. Which is a good price. More expensive than an ATV trailer, but I will get a lot more use out of it for more than just the occasional ATV ride. Something to consider.
Also, I already have a large enclosed trailer and I won't buy another one. They are just too hard to load and unload and properly strap things down. Open is the only way to go in my book. Your milage may vary.
