Has anyone had successful experiences launching a 23' 4500lb deep v boat

Yes, I've owned a couple 24' Seabirds. I used a galvanized Sportsman
trailer that had a roller setup under the keel that could be raised an
inch (+/-) by using a lever at the front of the trailer. This raised
the boat off the keel pads (and off the very short aft bunks) so that
it would easily roll on or off the trailer. Worked like a champ for
years. I don't know if that type trailer is built anymore. Last time I
shopped, all I could find were bunk type float on trailers. What a
shame.

Are bunk trailers the way to go?

Not in my humble opinion. But I don't think you'll have much choice if
you shop for a new one.
