Recently aquired my grandfathers 1971 Stuery 15ft Bow rider. Has an 89 Force 50hp on it with very low hours.
In good enough shape that I want to restore it and the trailer. Started on the trailer this week and trying to locate replacement keel rollers. There are 3 that are 4-1/2" wide,I have looked everywhere and find 4" and 5" rollers. The way the rollers mount the 5" would be too wide. I could probably make it work with the 4" ones but would need to add spacers to center the rollers. Figured I would ask if anyone may know of a supply for the 4-1/2" width first.
I threw a pict of the boat and the trailer. This is my 3rd boat restore but will be the easiet one. Nice and simple set up. Last ones were a 17ft Larson Mach 1 and a Fourwinds 195 both redone from the Stringers up...This one will be a piece of cake..

Thanks

Good luck with the restore. Looks like a nice project. Good sentimental value too.

Might be more practical just to change to 4 or 5 inch rollers and replace the bracket to match.

Thinking taking the route of 4" rollers with Nylon spacers on either side.The brackets are welded in between the frame structure and would be more work to remove and re mount new brackets. I can machine a couple spacers out of Nylon or Delrin material. Shoud do the trick.

Thanks
