Is there any hope for this trailer with this boat?

[QUOTE="onthewater102, post: 435097, member: 13702"] I was the one who mentioned it looked a bit small - but I think you can make it work with bunks rather than the rollers you have on there now. Rollers aren't preferred on aluminum anyway as they create pressure points that can easily cause dimpling/ bending. If you use a 2x4 for the rear bunks mount it so it makes contact with its narrow side rather than its flat face and have them overhang the back of the trailer extending all the way out to the end of the transom. It doesn't look all that far, maybe 18" or so - if you cut a single 8' piece in half you should be good with that. If a 2x4 still flexes over time move up to a 2x6 and mount the same - a 2x6 would likely be overkill and only raise the boat up higher off the trailer making launching from shallow grade launches an issue.
