[QUOTE="rewinder, post: 256282, member: 5688"] All my trailers have had fixed bunks of various lengths, from 2 to 4 feet. for an aluminum hull I think longer support the hull better, if the keel rollers are carrying most of the weight. What ticks me off is there are way fewer tilting bunk roller trailers made than 20 years ago. I have a non tilting 1200lb cap. bunk/keel roller trailer now, and am going to convert it to a tilt tongue trailer this spring. I've always used a tilt for any ramp. and it makes keeping the keel straight on the rollers a breeze when retrieving. Especially on shallow ramps. I never drive the boat on, always winch it in. A tilt trailer never makes you get your feet wet lol. I see no reason to ever have to have wet feet. just my 2cents [/QUOTE]
