Default Roller Trailer Guys

This question is for you guys who run roller trailers. How much distance is there from the last roller to the transom of the boat? In other words how much overhang?

My V21 hull sits just a few inches past the last rollers of my trailer.

And if we're talking roller trailers...........no offense to bunk, but I've had both and roller
allow me to launch and retrieve no matter what the tide level. With bunk I had to have enough water to " float " on and off at least to some degree.

Tough thing to be at ramp 5am for early morning Striped Bass bite only to have to wait for the tide to come in because can't get off bunk trailer.

Roller....no problemo..........roll it off and go ! :)

Mines just about an inch in. Always read closer to the back the better it was for the transom.

Cool

Same as all the other replies.. Both of my boats sit about 0-3 inches max from the last roller. You don't want to go too far forward because the hull can actually slip off the last set of rollers that way. I'd guess 3" is just about perfect.
