[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 457853, member: 12995"] The rollers are nice for loading when the river height causes you to be more at an angle but it kept making me worry about possible issues with cupping the bottom of the boat where it sat on the rollers. So I bought some new brackets and u-bolts then cut some 3x4" pvc downspouts in half to use as bunk glides. The boat actually sits 4-5" lower on the trailer now as well so I won't have to back in as far to load/unload. The boat stays in the water from Apr until Oct usually but with all the rain we've been having this year, I took it out a couple of weeks ago to let it dry out. I still need to do a little adjusting but it slides pretty well on the pvc gutter pretty well. [/QUOTE]
