Question for anyone with a similar single axle trailer; Do you have a keel roller at the 'wishbone" of the frame?Does it need one?

I saw a V20 in Toms River today on a similar Load Rite and it had a keel roller under the bow.

The guys at Camp Marine set up the trailer based on their many past setups of V20s so I'm hoping its going to go on with no problem.

I almost always put keel rollers on my trailers Skunk. One at the rear with a centering roller and another at the bow with just a regular roller. Never have a problem guiding the boat onto the trailer and it's always supported... Plus, with the rear keel roller I don't have to dunk my entire trailer in order to get the boat up onto the trailer..... no worries about hitting the rear trailer crossmember with the bow coming on or going off the trailer.

In my short time here on Earth I've found that putting on an additional keel roller is a lot more fun than fixing chipped gelcoat.
