I've had both roller and bunk trailers over the years. Roller trailers are definately nice for the ease of loading and launching, but a heck of a lot more maintenance and cost over bunks. Anything much bigger than a V20, I'd probably go roller. btw; I don't know about youz guys, but I've always had to dunk my trailers the same amount wether roller or bunk. With a bunk trailer, I've found that you back them in until the fender is sticking out of the water approximately 3" and you're good to go every time. Every boat is slightly different though and after a few trips you'll soon learn the sweet spot. Then mark the front of the fender or upright guide posts with reflective tape at the waterline. That way, if you're with someone else and they back down the trailer for you, just tell them to back it down to the tape line. The reflective tape will help out at night for the darkness fishing trips. Most of the local ramps around here do not allow power loading, but if there's no one on duty, I'll periodically do it just to save time. Just drive it up on to within 12" or so, leave it in forward gear with slight power, go up and hook the strap, shut it down, then winch the last little bit. ;)
