Do the hourglass rollers come in a lot of angles? There is a large
difference in the prices due to different materials.


Hourglass rollers are that shape to center the boat, not to support on
the angle. Unless your boat is bottom painted black I would buy a non
marking variety....

That's wht the deal is with mine. on the small boat it has the bow tie
rollers and tsure enough, there's black streaks underneath, especially
right down the center. It has some rollers that need redone due to the
center bushings being gone and a couple are splitting. , so I'm
thinking on getting some pretty yellow ones and re-do the trailer. I
was thinking of something like these

I'll do some shopping around and see what i can find.


I gotta say good things about Champion Trailer. Katrina came through
their home, Slidell, LA, *and absolutely handed them their ass... that
was in August of 2005. Three weeks later, they shipped me good product
with same day shipping. I was and AM impressed....


For those of you that think that is a done-deal..... my wife and I
picked up a truck in San Antonio and drove back through New Orleans
this February..... 4.5 years later it still looks like Armageddon in
many neighborhoods... 20 miles on either side of NO.... and the levees
STILL aren't fixed..... (don't start.... it is legally an Army Corps
of Engineers mandate).

I am also impressed with the service from Champion Trailers. *But Slidell
was nowhere as devastated as NOLA proper. *They had water damage up to five
miles from the lake, but the water did not stay for weeks. *Also, Slidell is
a lot more middle class and self sufficient. *I went to Slidell with the our
local Presbyterian Church. *Buddy is a member of it to help Habitat for
Humanity. *Lots more community involvement.- Hide quoted text -

Here here for champion. Not just good service but they are the best
prices I've found as well. Great company.
