[QUOTE="WV1951, post: 451497, member: 23206"] I am having trouble getting a grasp on this whole thing. My Mirro has a very heavy duty rib running the entire length the of middle. With the fact it is a rib, makes it doubly rigid and of course is riveted to the hull. There are two additional ribs/strakes in the same line next to the middle one. I would think this would make for a very rigid hull and supporting the weight would not be a problem. My trailer has two middle rollers, plus the bow stop. The bunks carry most of the weight, so the rollers would not be carrying that much. When I had my boat upside down when painting, I saw no indication of the middle rib having any bend what so ever. The boat is 40 years old. Maybe I am missing something. [/QUOTE]
