The keel rollers on there are ones that were previously on there with the rollers--I just did not remove them---the boat gets nowhere near them--so not needed--The 4 boards are measured as to slide it in place off of the bottom (chines)of the boat.
The idea to use the roller brackets was mine---I took measurements and built it--then went down and loaded the boat out of the lake---brought her home and jacked up the boat in place, then moved the boards into place to make them tight on the chines---1/2 to 3/4" clearence.
The boards are allowed to swivel by being on the roller assemblies bothfront back for them to conform to the hull front to rear and pivot center to outside to conform to the V shape---
I put the trailer about 6 inches in front of the fenders underwater and drive her on--centers automatically about 3/4 of the way on---then pull her out and crank in about 4 inches as the bunks level out when you stop floating the boat---has worked spot on everytime since I got her done last year.
Cost estimate--under $100
Time--about 6 hours
Glad you guys like it---I will get pictures with the boat off this coming week when I am out fishing off the coast---Ling Cod and Sea Bass!!
