hi all,

this is how the boat sits on the trailer when I got it.
do I need to add a roller to the front and move the others to the side?(and raise them?)

thanks!

The roller look properly "spaced". They must be between strakes and not ON them. Doesn't look like they need raising but a washer or two between the mounting brackets and frame would provide a little added clearance for the fenders if that's what you are worried about and the mounts are not adjustable vertically.

Looks good to Me, since once you put outboard on you will be supporting that weight.

I meant, should I move them more close to the side of boat. for better balance?

thanks!

Looks good to my eye. The way the strakes are spaced on the boat if you moved them out they would be too far.

If you move them out the bottom might hit the fenders. Looks absotutely perfect right now!
