Default Boat trailer question...

I bought an old R166 Gregor 16 ft welded aluminum boat a few months back. The trailer that came with it was rusted to pieces so I went searching for a used trailer to put it on. I found a great deal on an EZ Loader "roller" trailer that had an old 18' fiberglass low profile ski boat on it. The boat was rotted out so it went to the dump and the Gregor fit right on it. Now that I've got it on there the question I have is, will the rollers be bad for the bottom of the aluminum boat? Should I try and find a good bunk trailer? Or am I worring for no reason?

Default Re: Boat trailer question...

I think the answer depends upon how the boat sits on the trailer and how many rollers there are.

There are lots of aspects to fitting a boat to a trailer. (Balance for tongue weight, roller spacing, height, placement etc)

Shorelander publishes a nice guide to help.
It can be found here:
