you guys work too hard.... I simply tie the stern off and drag the trailer out while tossing blocks or tires under the keel.... I let it flop over on one side while I work and rock it to the other side by hand when I'm ready....
Then winch it back on... course.... not everyone has a full roller trailer ;)

Not everyone WANTS one...LOL!!

Bunks never stopped me from dragging one off the trailer by tying it to a small oak. Just place a few tires under her at the proper moments. Flats boat is on the ground now, trying to refurbish the trailer. Aluminum trailers flex something fierce both on and off.
Bunk trailers rule the south. As a yardboy at a boat dealership I always kept a can of spray silicone handy. I suspect those rollers require some lubrication. My dumb old bunks just lay there and wait.

Umm, Reel, you got work right there.. GLOSanding.

LOL!!...Smoke mentioned tires too...I don't have but ONE tire...I got a STACK of concrete blocks and wood cut-offs though...

It's funny how rollers rule up north and we love our bunks down here...both of them have there pluses and minuses, but I'll stick w/bunks fer now...maybe get a roller when I retire to Barnegat Bay!!...LOOKOUT Y'all!!:sun:

Got the rest of the sanding finished today...she lookin' WHITE-BOTTOMED now....will pick up the paint this weekend...gettin' rid of the ugly bottom a little at the time...:sun:


Great!!...West marine just called..my bottom paint went to Tennessee instead of SC...grrrr....

Ozzie
If youre not leaving it in the water why aren't you using automotive paint?

yup I've done it with bunks too.... I didn't know about the silicone till last fall.... I plan to try it the next time I launch the monte carlo for sure...

As for the rollers needing some lube.... I dunno.... I'll let ya know if I ever lube one LOL:head:

Personally, I'm happy with ANY trailer that fits the boat properly and gets smokeONthewater

Dass RIGHT!!...

Ya know...I dont know...:head:

Ozzy will be the first person ever to retire and move North :you:

Watch it...I still haven't ruled out movin' down there and harrassin' YOU all the time...:you:
