weight on wobble rollers instead of keel rollers a problem?

[muncedog]

Hi all,

So I noticed that my 20 year old trailer which the manufacture still makes and suggests for my hull (Buccaneer 510) appears to have 90% of the weight on two sets of quad wobble rollers at the rear or the boat. The two mid quad rollers and two front dual rollers have very little weight and there are no keel rollers!

From what I have read the keel is strongest and should have most weight - so this concerns me a little, although the boat has likely been this way for 20 years and shows no obvious issues...

Any thoughts?

You are imagining a problem that doesn't exist...

As long as the last roller is within a couple inches if the the transom you're fine..

The keel IS NOT the strongest part of most boats... It is for some but most have stringers that are the strongest part of the bottom...

If you're still worried post up a couple pics and we'll look at ur setup.
