Drive on boat trailer conversion

[JPreston]

My current trailer setup requires me to line up my boat to the rollers then use the winch to pull the boat onto the trailer. Has anyone ever taken a trailer like this and converted it into a drive trailer. I’ve been searching the web with no luck and stumbled onto this forum so I figured I’d join and ask here. Thanks for any help.

Welcome
This subject can get touchy with the actual drive on part. Hope it doesn't but to your question; yes and roller trailer can be change to bunks. The bunks can also be winched on, but at least you don't have to worry about it rolling back off

My trailer has two vertical bunk boards on the side and 3 rollers down the middle

This is how it is currently setup

Will be a tad harder because the bunks are not that long. Making them wider would help center as it comes on. Could make a couple of supports in the shape of a V to keep it centered closer to the bow.

With most (not all) bunk trailers, the keel rollers don't touch except when the boat is being loaded. Once loaded there is a space so the boat rest on the bunks only
