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?


I used to launch/load a 26 Mako all the time with no trouble.

The key was:

I had a "float on" trailer.
I used a ramp that was the perfect angle and very deep. I had
to totally submerge the trailer.

The angle of the ramp is crucial. I had lots of trouble with that same
boat/trailer
at other ramps that were slightly less grade.

I have a 20' CC Corsair that has a deep hull as well. I have to
submerge the trailer when launching and retrieving.My trailer has 2
bunks, but they're roller equipped; as well as the keel rollers. I
need those pipes for the ends to guide the boat in. This is always a
bitch, cause you cant see the trailer that well. On a lighter note,
I'm glad I have a stout vehicle to launch with. I've seen cars dragged
into the drink on wet ramps...lol.
