I see this question a LOT... 99% of the time the person is backing WAY too far into the water and 95% of those are SURE that that isn't the problem.... Otherwise the next step is adjustment and if that doesn't work (my V loads VERY easily on my ez loader full roller trailer) then the final best option is usually to sell a perfectly fine roller trailer an buy a bunk trailer.... almost always cheaper than converting.......
If after all of this the trailer won't work for you and you are stubborn enough to insist on converting then we'll help you through it.

From what I've seen, it pretty much depends on the ramps you use as to whether you need bunks or rollers...deeper ramps allow drive-on bunks and shallower ramps require winch-on rollers...are you driving onto a roller style trailer?...I'm not familiar enough w/rollers to say for sure, but Rob and Pete used their winches to load their rollers and I'm not sure you can drive on one w/good result...maybe the guys w/rollers can clarify...

I have always had a roller trailer, and in the begining with the V had a hard time loading. But after a few years of doing it and learning it got easy, Now I would never have it any other way!!
I line up the boat with the trailer drive it on mos of the way, Kenny hooks the winch cable and winch does the last 3 or 4 feet, works everytime! I back trailer in right to the bottom of the fenders, any more the back will float off the back making a uneven load.

MJ, I think your point about finding the right depth for the trailer is key to getting her loaded right...and I've always been able to load mine alone if need be, but havin' a second person slicks the process out REEL nice like...

Yea don't give up on the roller trailer yet. When I got my trailer it was more than 20 years old...could never get it to load straight. Finally one day looking at it took out a tape measure and realized the front set of rollers was something like 3 inches off of center as compared to the other side.....I evened them up, used it once or twice gave the front ones another little adjustment and now all is good....
Point being, get under there and see what the problem is. Those front rollers are infinitely adjustable. Just takes some figuring to get them in the right spot.
