I'm just getting used to loading my bunk trailer alone. I'm finding it harder to load it on the trailer compared to the ease of the old roller trailer. Seems like if i don't power load it then I have to drag it on with the winch and this is not easy But more importantly, I bought "loading guides" to install because if the boat (20' GW) isn't exactly straight it "lists" a little to one side and can actually touch and rub against the trailer fender. The nice old trailer guy that sold me the guides told me to ADD a length of (carpeted) 2x6 to each bunk to gain 2" of height since the existing bunks are fastened right through the meat of the wood and moving them higher might risk splitting the wood if I drilled to close to the edge.
If the boat is perfect I get approx. 2" of clearance between the boat and the fenders. People love their bunk trailers but I'm having a hard time liking it better than my old roller trailer.
Does this make sense? Should go back to the roller? What am I doing wrong?
