Trailers
Like a lot of topics on here there are varied opinions. Another cosideration is bunks versus rollers. Bushwacker had an electric winch, rollers and didn’t get his trailer wheels wet on his (and now SSPBill’s) Seafari. His boat was high off the road. After almost launching my 72 Cutlass on low tide a couple times retrieving my Seafari, i opted for a tandem axle Hitchhiker with bunks and small tires to get the boat lower and the vehicle further up the ramp. Being low and with drop axles once the boat touched the trailer during retrieval, the load was fwd of the axles which loaded up the vehicle rear tires thereby improving traction. Never timed him, but bet my retrieval time was quicker than Good friend, Bushwacker. You are right to inquire to get different perspectives. Good luck.
