[QUOTE="Brine, post: 86756, member: 1053"] Another trailer question. I stole this pic from Codemans build. [img]https://james.semoatvriders.com/My%20Boat/Number%202/Trailer/P3130016%20copy.jpg[/img] From what I have read, this is the best position for the bunks (to be between the outermost chines). Right? My trailer bunks have a bracket mechanism that elevates the bunk above the cross supports and allows the bunk to swivel. Does anyone see the value in using them as opposed to what Codeman did by just laying them on the frame? I guess it provides a little softer impact on the hull when loading. Not quite sure what other benefits they offer. Also, I have 3 keel rollers that seem to be below the height of the bunks. Are these installed to allow for a different boat to be used on the trailer? I don't understand how the rollers are of any use if the bottom of the hull is flat, and they don't touch the rollers. I keep reading that they are there to aid in centering the boat, but again, I don't see how that would work with my boat. Here is the pic of what I'm talking about.
