[QUOTE="Hanr3, post: 166330, member: 1055"] How do I say this, hmmmm. While in the water, a boat "slides/floats" and offers little resistance to whatever. If the boat hits the trialer, the trailer will either move, or the boat will bounce off of it. Going to take a lot of speed for a boat to damage a trailer. Think of it this way, when your in the boat and want to leave the dock, push off with your arm. Boat moves pretty easy. It has the same resistance to the trailer. Besides if you hit the trailer hard enough, more than likely the trailer tires dont have a lot of grip on the ramp and will lose traction, thus allowing the boat to move. Take a look at commercial side bunks. 1/8" solid steel bar stock, or some sort of tubing, tubing would be stronger, however the bar stock will flex. [/QUOTE]
