Trailer Changes
Considering removing the rollers and replacing them with bunkers. Bunkers would be about 4" x 10" and beveled to match the hull angle. Why, have always had bunkers and believe rollers don't give as good support as bunkers. Any comments or suggestions?
Also, the trailer only has a single axel. Believe another axel is needed. Hammer was good enough to post pictures of the inprogress boat transom repair. In one of the pictures youi can see the rear of the trailer. Have no ides of the trailers capacity as I bought (stole) the entire rig in mid December 2006. As a matter of fact, have never riden in the boat. Any comments or suggestions? |
Re: Trailer Changes
I prefer rollers because where I load my boat, its steep and as hell and I have a hand winch. Rollers make it easier to get on the trailer. I have a single axel trailer and have no weight problems. But I only go maybe 4-blocks to the boat ramp.

Re: Trailer Changes
People always say that you don't get good support from rollers, but I can wiggle my rollers while the boat is on the trailer, I figure that my rollers are carrying maybe 125 lbs each.
Many of these hulls been sitting on rollers for 25 years and I have yet to see one suffer damage from rollers. Airslot |

Re: Trailer Changes
I believe bunks do support better then rollers, but that said I have a roller and would never change!!
Here in Mass. most ramps are step and a pain, I have a few buddy's with bunks that have to wait for the tide to launch or retrieve there boats. They hate it when I can come and go as i please! I had a single axle as well for the first 4 years and never had any issues. That is till the tire passed me on the highway! :o Thats when I bought this in 2005 http://syncboard.com/albums/Boat-Tac..._096.sized.jpg http://syncboard.com/albums/Boat-Tac..._193.sized.jpg |
