Fiberglass or aluminum?<br /><br />--------------------<br />I get by with a little help from my friends<br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />Posts: 686 | From: Safety Harbor, Florida | Registered: May 2003 | IP: Logged | <br /> <br />pinto21629 <br />Seaman <br />Member # 31253 <br /><br /> posted October 14, 2005 04:16 PM <br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />it is fiberglass where i work has a 5"keel roller v roller but the groove in the middle is very small like 3/8" wide but i think that is for a deep v like a bay liner or a ski boat i was thinking about it because with the spool roller it all ways goes off center even when i tilt the trailer and winch it all the way up the trailer but if the spool rollers is all that will work thats what i will have to use the keel i was talking about comes off the bottom about 1"and its about 1"wide starts as the bow then turns into the keel on the bottom and ends about a 1'from the transom it is 17'fiberglass 1962 aristocraft<br /><br />--------------------<br />pinto
