[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 324464, member: 1523"] I've seen a lot of epic failures over the years with guys trying to drive onto their trailers. It's usually exasperated when they have an audience waiting to use the ramp... With rollers you should be able to pull your boat onto the trailer pretty easily if the ramp isn't too steep. I think the key is having the first center 'V' roller sitting close enough to the surface that you can ride your center rib onto it and let it guide the front of the boat up the trailer. That's how I manually pull mine up onto the bunks. I added a catwalk 1/2 way to the axle and just stand on it and guide the bow onto the first roller, then once the hull is lined up with the trailer just pop the boat onto the bunks. If you do it right your hull should never hit the side rollers unless you are dealing with excessive crosswinds or currents. [/QUOTE]
