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

What do you need it for? Both have their places.

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.

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...

Yatch club?

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.

Subject: Top Hair Extensions in Perth: Transform Your Look Today!



When it comes to hair extensions, Perth offers a dazzling array of options to suit every preference, hair type, and budget. The most popular types include clip-in extensions, tape-in extensions, sew-in extensions, and fusion or pre-bonded extensions. Each type has its unique characteristics, benefits, and application methods. Understanding these can help you make an informed decision.
Clip-in extensions are the perfect choice for those seeking a temporary change. They involve wefts of hair with clips sewn onto them, which can be easily attached and removed without professional help. Ideal for special occasions, they provide instant length and volume. Plus, they are the least damaging to your natural hair since they don’t require any glue or heat for application.
Tape-in extensions, on the other hand, offer a more semi-permanent solution. These involve thin strips of hair with adhesive tape at the base, which are sandwiched between sections of your natural hair. They are lightweight and lie flat against your scalp, making them virtually undetectable. Maintenance is relatively easy, but they do need to be repositioned every 6-8 weeks to accommodate hair growth. Sew-in extensions, or weaves, are another popular option, especially among those with thicker hair. They involve braiding your natural hair into cornrows and sewing the wefts of hair onto these braids. This method is highly secure and long-lasting, making it a favorite among many. However, it is essential to have them installed by a professional to avoid unnecessary tension on your natural hair.

Out of the two brands, I would go Shoreland'r if nothing more than a preference as I have owned a few of them and they have been fantastic. If you are replacing a trailer, I would go to something that is definitley on the heavier side capacity-wise. So many boats are priced to look competitive and the trailer is usually where there is some cost savings. I would always try to shoot for at least 500 lb capacity MORE than what my boat and gear would normally weigh when loaded.

Bunk or Roller? Bunk. Ease of loading as when the trailer is set up correctly, the bunk should load correctly every time, whereas a roller trailer can get a touch off center from time to time.
