..........your trailer rollers or your trailer bunks?

Mine is 100% on the 4 bunks and I may have to make some changes.

However, I only trailer when on vacation and during the off season.




What's wrong with bunks? They support the boat better than rollers.


I don't know as I never had a boat on a trailer before.

The bunks are 4 to 6 feet long and I already had to raise them by adding a
2x4 under each of the bunks so the boat does not hit the fenders.

The boat now rests 100% on those 4 bunks, with the keel rollers having 4
inches+ of clear space and never touched by the keel of the boat.

Is this acceptable or normal?
