its rare to see a roller trailer down here, and we've got some pretty shallow ramps. Go to NC and you'll see even more shallow ramps, but still rare to see a roller. It cost a pretty penny to keep a roller in good operating shape in the salt down here. Most bunk trailers(especially aluminum ones) are rarely set up correctly for the boat. Usually the boats are just set in place, if the bunks are adjustable, they just move them so they won't sit directly on a strake. A properly set up bunk trailer will work as good as any roller if you can get it deep enough for water to cover the tires on the trailer(better still if you can cover the fender). The biggest difference is when it comes time to load up the boat, as we are allowed to power up a boat on the trailer, unlike some areas in the NE
