Bunk trailers rule the south. As a yardboy at a boat dealership I always kept a can of spray silicone handy. I suspect those rollers require some lubrication. My dumb old bunks just lay there and wait.

Umm, Reel, you got work right there.. GLOSanding.

LOL!!...Smoke mentioned tires too...I don't have but ONE tire...I got a STACK of concrete blocks and wood cut-offs though...

It's funny how rollers rule up north and we love our bunks down here...both of them have there pluses and minuses, but I'll stick w/bunks fer now...maybe get a roller when I retire to Barnegat Bay!!...LOOKOUT Y'all!!

Got the rest of the sanding finished today...she lookin' WHITE-BOTTOMED now....will pick up the paint this weekend...gettin' rid of the ugly bottom a little at the time...


Great!!...West marine just called..my bottom paint went to Tennessee instead of SC...grrrr....

If youre not leaving it in the water why aren't you using automotive paint?

Why are you painting it at all? If she's gonna live on a trailer let her show off her beautiful, sparkling white hull. There's no need for paint.

You'll always be welcome in Barnagat Bay Oz...We know quality when we see it.

Bunk trailers are good. Roller trailers rule!!

I have a friend with a bunk trailer that bought some of those anti-friction plastic strips off of eBay that you attach to the bunks. They work FANTASTIC!! Not quite as well as a roller trailer, but it's about 10 times easier to launch his boat now.

Ok, OK, none you northerners like bunk trailers. I get it.

But Destroyer, how can a boat launching get 10 times easier with the slides added to the bunks?

If your doing it right the boat will float right off the trailer.

I suspect the rollers allow you to keep more trailer/tow vehicle out of the water so that is an advantage. Winching a boat off a beach, like Capt. Pete does, advantage rollers. But we proved in Charleston that it is a no-brainer with a bunk type trailer, didn't we? Side guides provide the alignment and the V gets you lined up so you just drive it on and off.

I will say that the Tragic Tilt trailers from FL left a lot to be desired in a bunk trailer but
