I have been reading here that to have you boat on the trailer properly, on bunks or keel rollers, you need to know if the strength is from stringers or the keel. Does that clarify things? Sorry my question was so vauge.

ok. for the boat pictured you are set up correctly, you need to move you bow stop forward an inch or so so the the bow rest on the front keel roller, or if the roller is adjustable raise the roller just so there is a little pressure on the roller. this will stop flex in the trailer. be sure that your bunks are extended atleast 2 " beyond the transom.

you boat is built with a Keel and a stringer on each side, above the bunks. on that boat all 3 are the strength. just gave one away very similar to it. didn't need another project. need keel and stringers. came with motor i bought.
