Is there any advantage to a bunk trailer vs a roller trailer? Got a new boat that came with a bunk trailer and it really seems like a pain in the @ss. You have to put the trailer further in the water, hard to get it lined up, and really hard to crank the boat up the trailer. Maybe I am missing something but I have no idea why a person would get a bunk trailer on purpose.
Anyone out there will bunk trailer have any helpful hints besides buy a roller trailer.
Can you put those plactic things on the bunk to help a boat slide better if the boat is 24 feet long? All the adds say they are for fiberglass boats up to 1500 lbs which is way less then the boat weights.
What brand of trailer do you have? Is your boat fiberglass or aluminum? Bunk trailers are harder to load and unload than roller trailers. They do provide better support to some degree. However, a well built roller trailer with the proper amount of rollers will provide plenty of support for most boats.
King trailer puts a hard plastic material on their bunks. This helps with the loading and unloading. However, if you have a deep vee fiberglass boat they will rub and chafe your hull.
The liquid roller stuff in my opinion is a waste of money. It's simply a spray that you spray on your carpet that's supposed to make it slicker. Doesn't work that well.
I've owned many trailers of the all roller and all bunk variety. My current trailer is a roller/bunk combination. Roller's in the front and bunk's in the back. It's by far the best trailer I've had. I have a 30' boat and can load and unload by myself with relative ease.
