Trailer length

[SkunkBoat]

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.

I've trailer my boat for years but only putting it in in spring and taking it out in fall. And I watch the guys with the bunk trailers as they drive on and it seems that they have more trouble aligning they're boat on the boat trailer then we do on the roller trailers so I think I'll just stick with what I know , thing is any boat I've ever bought that was under 24 feet came with a trailer so I never had to give it much thought, my current boat did not come with the trailer obviously ,So now I'm trying to compile as much information as possible to pick the right one I now know I should have a minimum of 27 ft. And as you guys mentioned the longer trailer is much easier to maneuver.
