As to the trailer, regardless of how big the trailer is, get rollers
instead of bunks. It will save your back. It's the one thing I hate
about my Ranger center cosole - those stupid bunks.
Good luck.

As I've read it...better to have the rollers if launching and loading
each
time you go out....but the bunks are better if you
store your boat on the trailer. (better load distribution re long
winters/late springs?)
I'll be doing both..........
Those are good points. I'd still opt for the rollers - much easier to
load and unload.
I have bunks, but also lots of power to load and unload. I launch in
shallow areas, aluminum jetboat, and have no problem. The newer trailers
are going to HMWB plastic for the bunks and the boat slides really easy on
them. Is used for bearings in some cases.
I'll have to look into that. Thanks for the tip.
