my trailer is about 2 feet longer than the boat, maybe 3. works fine. I have a Loadrite 3100 single, roller.

my take on roller vs bunk-

We have a big tide swing 4ft or more. That means ramps are steep (so they don't have to be very long to reach low water). I like a roller for this because you put just the rear roller at the waterline and crank it up. On a steep ramp, if you put the entire bunk in the water it will be angled steeply, the *** end of the boat floats around. Forget about it in the wind.

If you can get away with a bunk, do it. Cheaper, less to break. Also, You can get an aluminum bunk trailer, not so with roller.

If you use bottom paint, rollers let you paint the bottom while on the trailer.
