Nothing of related value to add except that I really love the green hull... very pretty color combo! ...

My own recent unrelated woes with my roller trailer are that my rear-most starboard roller set will float upwards and stay there due to the extra play in the U-clamps (nuts rusted in place).

First time I had problems I had to pull it out and dunk it at least half dozen times before it sat correctly. I've since learned to tell when it isn't sitting right when cranking it up (as the cable rides lower and eventually rubs the winch cross-brace as the boat gets close). Also learned not to dunk the trailer too deep, and how deep to dunk at various tides... and to walk it up onto the roller. If I dunk it too deep, that roller floats vertically and tends to stay there, and also the boat is almost always off center. I hammered in rubber blocks under the U-clamp to add some "friction" and "centering", but not sure that "band aid" worked. I think I've only had it "go wrong" once this season since I learned to live with it. Ultimately I'll probably replace the hardware.

Next trailer will be a dual axle bunk trailer, so thanks for the free knowledge about the potential for floating and the fixes!
