Default Boat sits high on bunk style trailer.

I need to have the boat sit lower on a '91 ez-loader trailer. I am
faced with two problems.

1. Launching the boat at the local ramp requires the trailer and tow
vehicle to enter the water a LONG way before you can launch the boat.
(salt water)
2. I need to add the ability to have the boat hoisted into the water
too.

When launching the boat I have to back the trailer and tow vehicle are
too far into the water before I am able to float the boat. (I have a
similar problem when trying to load the boat.) If I did not have the
same problem loading and unloading I would be inclined to add the
Teflon covers to easily launch the boat, however, since I am have a
similar problem loading and unloading I want to see if I can address
the problem.

In an effort to solve this problem I have reviewed the ez-loader web
site for ideas to allow the boat sit lower on the trailer. To me, it
looks like the bunks are currently supported by older style roller
supports, modified to support the bunks.

Using ez-loaders "short bunk mount bracket", "bunk support
mounts" and finally "bunk/roller support brackets". I think I can
get the boat to sit lower on the trailer. I am proposing to use the
38" bunk / roller support attached to the short bunk mount bracket at
the rear of the trailer. For the forward support I would use the bunk
support mounts attached to short bunk mount brackets.

Has anyone else had success getting their boat to sit loawer on the
trailer?

Thank you

~Joe
