It depends how well you have the trailer set up. I added a couple of keel rollers to the aft X-member which have a notch in the center that keep the boat centered until the 16 rollers on the back contact the hull and start lifting it off the keel rollers. If you look closely at the outer rollers in the second picture in previous post of boat coming on trailer, the outer rollers are right next to the outer step, so they do a very good job of guiding the boat on straight every time regardless of wind or current.
I used to have some side rollers (shown below) to force it on straight and even had 'em raised about 12" to contact the rub rail, but I took 'em off after discovering I didn't need 'em once I got the outer rollers adjusted correctly. However I still have those side rollers, so if anybody wants them let me know!
