| Anything with bunks. Leave the rollers at the hair salon. |

Location: Eastern Ontario | I like bunks and feel they support the boat more evenly over a bigger area and the boat will stay in place till the boat is in the water. I launch alone frequently and let the boat come off the trailer on a long rope. I have never owned a roller trailer but have seen more than one boat off on the pavement because it was unsecured prematurely. A buddy has a roller trailer and seems to have more trouble than me getting the boat sitting square on the trailer. My trailer has two outer straight bunks and two inner bunks that angle toward the center. It might be possible to drive on crooked but I've never managed. |

Location: Minnesota. | I have a fiberglass rig and she's on bunks. I like them a lot.
I've had Lunds on roller trailers and they did okay too but if you have glass go with the bunks.
As posted, I also fish alone a lot and have no issues loading/unloading w/a long rope and heavy clip.
Like one poster said, don't skimp on this issue. A boat spends 99% of it time on the trailer... |

I've only had bunk trailers for several boats.... I like them. From 14' to now 19'.
Nothing against rollers, but a good boat guy once told me that rollers can be tough on the aluminum/rivets....?
EZ Loader was one I was going to look into at one time, but I didn't. They were made 10 mins. from me at one point I think.
I would go with bunks anytime.
