Default Re: Bunk or roller trailer

The need for a bunk or roller trailer has a lot to do with the steepness of your local ramp, whether they allow powerloading (many dont) and how often you plan on using the trailer.

If you are simply using the trailer for offseason storage and perhaps 1-2 other times throughout the season, go with bunk.

However, if your ramp is steep, they dont allow powerloading and you plan to use the trailer frequently....go with a roller. A roller trailer will load the boat on the trailer straight 100% of the time as long as you dont sink the trailer in too deep. If you give the roller arms a chance to self-align...they will.

ABL111...Do you have a picture of your Rocket trailer setup? It sounds to me that your bunks maybe adjusted wrong which is causing the keel roller to bear too much weight. Take a few pictures and between everyone...we should be able to offer some suggestions.
