[QUOTE="Lost But Happy, post: 499215, member: 31806"] LOL nope, you understood it perfectly. I do have a roller for the rear cross member and a bow roller as well. I put the boat on the bunks (not drilled out as of yet) and I've been fooling around with placement in the past few days and as it stands, the bunks are 1" past the transom and the bunks themselves extend 6" past the rear cross-member. From the looks of it, I can lower the boat + bunks around 1" closer to the fenders (which I will be doing today-ill report back). The trailer going too deep is what Im trying to avoid. Though the Olde Ram shouldn't have any problem dragging it out of the water. When I installed the fenders, I gave them 3" of clearance between the top of the tire and the bottom of the fender. I think that may the least amount of clearance I want. Btw, I also added wheel spacers to make the new wheel/tire combo fit-1.5". Thanks [USER=21536]@LDUBS[/USER]! [/QUOTE]
