[QUOTE="overboard, post: 386586, member: 6547"] Only from experience! I have a 1654 FB Tracker GRIZZLEY and have Teflon bunk slicks on the bunks. I think that boat is 460 lbs. bare, and I am well above that weight with all the gear and mods. I have launched and retrieved that boat at shallow launches where the bunks weren't even in the water and the boat was almost sitting level. Have to exert a little energy, but it can be done. I just modified another trailer for that boat, got the bunks a little lower, the outside bunks have plastic post covers on them and the middle bunk has the Teflon on it, also installed a longer tongue to get out further in the river. My main reason for setting up a different trailer was the amount of pressure I was putting on the bow eye when winching it up and over the bunks at some of the shallow launches that I use. [/QUOTE]
