Bunks or rollers??

[fishfeatures]

hi

I have a 14ft speed boat with a 60 hp johnson on it. The trailer i carry it around on hass both bunks and keel rollers. I was just wondering if it's better to have most of the weight of the boat on the bunks or keel rollers?? at the moment the most of the weight is on the bunks and forward roller, it's easy to load and unload , i'm only querying this as i want to make sure I have the weight where it should be once in transport..

Re: Bunks or rollers??

There has been much debate on this subject on this forum w/o a good conclusion. My personal preferance is to have the weight equally distributed on this type of trailer. With the bunks all the way to the transom or just past the end of the transom. If a tilt trailer I prefer to have slightly more weight on the rollers so as the boat will roll off when tilted.
