Currently, both rollers can be turned by hand while boat is loaded.....this indicates full hull weight is supported by bunks. To achieve what you suggest, I would have to raise forward roller higher than rear roller, as rear roller is bottomed out on its bracket. Front roller is not as easy to raise in multiple increments. I also was wondering under which portion of the bow should the forward roller be resting......forward-most bow aluminum (from tip of bow down to where it connects with keel strake) or slightly larger center keel strake?
