Location: Grand Rapids MN | I wanted to get some feedback from people who own/use a bunk trailer from Lund (guessing they are Shorelander as the rollers). I recently bought an 1850XS Impact with a roller trailer and I am just not a fan of some of the "nuances" of a roller but I am wondering if I switch to their bunk am I opening up another can.
1) Do their bunk trailers center well, especially with side current?
2) Does the boat drift off without the huge bow drop onto the front roller?
3) Do they sit lower than their roller counterpart? This roller trailer is like a 4x4 frame with how much higher it sits compared to my old bunk.
I really just can't get used to laying over the TM and hanging down to work the winch and flip the release lever with the other hand while unloading. Would rather just unhook, jump in, and get dumped off. Same for loading, drive up, shut it off, jump out, and hook up my straps. Plus I noticed it doesn't like any kind of side current or I touch the guide bunks that are 2" from each side. Couple nice scuffs from them already. I am sure I will eventually get used to it but it is more screwing around. Spent enough time at landings watching others and kind of knew what I was getting myself into but one never knows until they do it themselves. Dealer talked me into this trailer so hopefully they work with me on it.
In the end looking for feedback on Lund's bunk trailers and not a huge debate on which is better. I am just hoping people who have similar size boats with bunks can share their thoughts.
Thanks in advance! |
