Default Trailer for 23' Walkaround

Has anyone had successful experiences launching a 23' 4500lb deep v boat
with a very deep v forward? Are bunk trailers the way to go? How should they
be setup?


The simple answer to your problem is that the trailer's rollers or
rollers/bunk combination aren't set up properly.

I launch and recover my nephew's 23 CC Hydra-Sports just fine. The
rollers have to be set up so they don't interfer with the chines and
on the hull, not the chines. That will probably require jacking the
boat up, using an impact wrench and move the roller frames on the
trailer to their proper position.

The roller/bunk combination is meant to be a drive-on trailer and if
you are having problems with that, it's not set up properly.

Either that, or you don't know how to properly load/launch the boat
off the trailer.

No offense meant there by the way - not everyone knows how to do it
properly.
