Trailer Question - 23'

[abl1111]

I have a 23' Tsunami with an older trailer that I use (2)X a year - in/out - no more than 3 miles round trip.

The trailer is an old Rocket, that has had some good 'ole boy ingenuity put in: it's a 'fusion' of a bunk w/ keel rollers. It ain't really pretty...

The 12" keel rollers seem to give me a problem in that it's tough to get the boat centered just right - or the roller bracket will scratch the hull. Usually the 3rd roller from the rear does the damage.

People from the site have given me input before, i.e. bring bunks to center more etc. ( I can't do this due to my raw water strainer being in way - it's an i/o ).

I was wondering - do I need keel rollers at all ?

And, if not, what is the best thing to put on top of the bunks to get the boat up and on ?

How far do you drive your boat up on the trailer before you have to winch ? Can you winch this heavy hull onto bunks ?

I have thought of as many ways as I can to line the "V" of the hull perfectly, but none seems adequate...

Any help here ?
