1973Tsunami, you nailed it - the Vets park ramp is brutal for my launching! Getting the boat on the floating trailer is no problem as I just hit it with a little bit of speed and I'm on. Launching is the thing.

I guess I only want to make sure that the support offered by the rollers will be adequate.

1973Tsunami, I should know in a month or so which trailer I'm going to keep. here's the Rub - my magic loader is a NY trailer. Its rated for 3100 pounds which in lovely CT means inspection and brakes are required. I have all the paperwork from the previous owner. I've been risking getting pulled over going for my short ride to the ramp.

Also converting the Magic Loader to have breaks seems silly to me as my 18 prob. hovers right around the 3klb mark and is fine to tow without brakes.
