Check this out. A buddy of mine ordered one of these trailers. Seems to be pretty well built and they delivered it to VA.

Thats a great price for a dual axle ;) but it is a bunk trailer and I want to ask consensus question on which you guys prefer the bunk or roller roll on trailer

Willy, I never had a roller trailer...they concern me some as it's SO easy for the boat to roll off...just me; I need something a little more ''forgiving''...bunks have been great for V20 and last few boats... ;)...

IMHO - The contact area where the roller actually support the boat are very small compared to the contact area on a bunk. Bunks have more friction to overcome when loading and unloading but support the boat better. Rolers are kinda like standing on a bed of nails. I'd worry about damaging the boat while towing. Bunks flex some, seems to me they would be more forgiving. Properly adjusted bunks shouldn't be that hard to load and unload. Plus compare the cost to replacing 2 bunks to how ever many rollers on a roller trailer.

i've had several of both trailers BUY BUNKS ONLY lol
Rollers will scar the bottom of your boat and leave nice black lines on it unless you like to spend and buy the yellow ones then you can replace them about every 3 to 4 yrs due to cracking.

Interesting ;) appreciate the advise, always thought the bunk would support better, pretty obvious actually but never heard of rollers damaging hull other than what Lord Skools said about marking, that I've seen first hand. But Ive had three bunk trailers and now am on my second roller trailer. Not by choice but because they came with boat. The diffrence in launching and especially loading is substantial at least for me especially since about half the time I go out I'm by myself or might as well be with one of my kids or a super model(useless) 8)

just take off the rollers and make your own set of treated runners out of wood not a hard change over except on Long Brand roller trailers.

I'll be the odd man out and say that I prefer a roller triailer for my V-20. Launch and load is sooo easy once you get a routine for either type. While the bunks do support better, on my roller trailer you can grab the rollers and wiggle them a bit with the boat on them. 4500 lbs spread across 32 rollers comes out to 140 lbs per contact point. If the boat can't handle that I don't want it.
