More useful stuff, thanks to both. Bearing buddies are new to me: does that enable greasing inner as well as outer bearings? People seem often to be unaware of the inner bearings, so they are usually the ones to fail.
I like the side guides. They'll be on the shopping list. Thank you.
Maybe my opinion of bunks will improve. It has to really.... that's the only place there's room. We are not in the Sailboat Capital of Canada, here in central BC and Alberta. We are in the Lund and Johnboat area, with many lakes and rivers. With bunks you must go deeper or have a steeper ramp. The ramps we use may often not be worthy of the name, and certainly can be very shallow, narrow, and end abruptly: they are constructed, to use the term loosely, for smaller power boats. I want to have a setup that will work well on short, shallow, lousy ramps. Bunks don't in my limited experience. But I shall certainly try the trailer as it comes before damning it.
