Default Trailer for 23' Walkaround

I am interested in a Seafox 236 WA and have a question about the trailer
and launching. I have a friend who has a Seafox 236 WA and he has had a
very tough time trying to get a roller trailer and then a combination
roller/bunk to launch properly. That big deep v hull which is great once
in the water seems to always bury itself in the front of the trailer
whether it's a roller or a bunk. The roller was always problematic due
to the chines getting caught. Then the combination roller in the rear
and bunk in the front seems to put all the weight on the front bunk and
with the hard top and frame there is a lot of weight. Trying to launch
is a grind for 4'-5' until the boat gets off the front bunk.

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?


Is it a very shallow ramp? I've launched boats that size without a
problem at a good ramp - float it off, float it on. The only need for a
bow roller was to keep the boat straight.
