Don't expect to do much "winter" boating, gets too rough. Boat has bottom
paint so I'm concerned about too much friction with the bunks. Only worry I
have with rollers is the smaller area of support. Seeing some trailers with
30-40+ rollers though. Thanks for the tip on a power winch.

Sportsman Trailers in south Houston used to make bunk trailers with
lift up rollers in the middle. Roll the boat on the trailer then lower
the boat onto the bunks - worked great. I don't know if they still
make them but I saw their place a few weeks ago so I guess they're
still around. If you use bunks I would recommend that you use UHMW in
place of carpet. Boat will slide on easier and it will not rot.
