Keel rollers

[tsubaki]

Congratulations on the V!!
It has been my assumption, the way you use the trailer dictates the the setup of it.
I'm partial to bunk type trailers with rollers contacting the keel, sharing the weight evenly with the bunks.
Other people simply use the rollers as a protective bumper when at a hoist or a good ramp that will allow floating the boat off.
Be sure to have at least 8 foot of bunk contacting the bottom (I see you do) or lower them so as to also contact the rollers with the keel. On lesser made boats, I've seen short bunks deform the bottom of the boat from too much weight on them. Also I've seen hooks in the keel from a trailer setup with only 3 keel rollers and the bunks barely contacting the bottom.

On my old trailer it had four bunk boards extending exactly even with the transom , and three keel rollers as shown in your pictures , the bracket holding the rollers are adjustable and my rollers were touching with pressure, hopefully this helps ..

[NOTHING ELSE MATTERS]

Any specific placement of the bunks? (like where the stringers run?) or doesn't really matter. I have the 8' bunks 2X6 with the flat 5 1/2" to the boat hull.
Anybody has a picture of the bunk placement and the keel touching the keel rollers ?

Notice in this picture my bunk is NOT flush with the transom


This picture is after I move the Boat forward and shifted the axles forward..


Now as for the Rollers touching mine was mounted with this adjustable bracket ..
