Default Trailer for 23' Walkaround

Trend in Australia for larger towable boats is to go all teflon pads.
NO rollers at all!!
Fix them on with countersunk screws, easy to replace.
Doesn't matter where the boat enters the trailer or what angle, start
winching & it auto centres.
Main thing is to NOT put your trailer too far in the water, let the teflon
straighten the boat.
Local charter chap has his 25' outfit setup like this and easily loads it in
seconds all by himself.
Just one BIG BIG warning. NEVER undo the front chain & unhook the winch
strap prior to backing down the ramp.
Surely teflon trailers are in your country by now?

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?


Be sure to lubricate the rollers!
