If possible could responders also email me their response directly to wirosenb@aol.com. Thanks. I bought used trailer with my boat about 5 years ago. Trailer has a wooden bunk on each side. Each bunk is mounted on 3 galvanized pipes, one on each end of the bunk and one in the center. The center pipe is shorter than the other two so the center of each bunk is about 5 inches lower than the ends. Thus each bunk curves downward in a gentle slope twoard its center. The boat is floatedf easily onto the bunks when the trailer is submerged at the ramp. The bunks support the bottom opgf the boat at a level just below the stripe. The bunks have rotted due to some stupidity on my part an have to be replaced. Before I do that I have the following questions: Why does the c22 owners manual say float the boat onto the trailer and warn against pulling it on via the trailer winch? Presumably the fear is that the protruding keel will get hung up if the boat is not floated. But couldnt one mount rollers on the trailer at heights sufficient to keep the boat above the danger mark? Then the boat would be fiully supported by the rollers and bunks would not be necessary. The boat could then be cranked up on to the trailer without having to immerse the trailer as deeply. This would make life much easier. What is wrong with this idea? Is the bow ring mounting too fragile to enable cranking the boat via the ring--I have the modern two bolt mounting for the ring.Is hull deformity more likely to occur if the bottom is supported at multiple points by rollers rather than by contiuous bunks? If the answer to the last question is "yes" and you think this is serious problem, then how come so many other fibreglass boats are cranked up onto trailers and hauled with roller support and nothing else?
