Hey, so I'm fairly new to the board and to owning one of these aluminum boats. Last fall I bought a 60's 13.5' Sea King for cheap. The problem I have is the trailer. The lake I mostly visit is hand launch and electric power only, the trailer isn't allowed to touch the water, and the ramp is fairly steep, so it's easy to launch the boat, but recovering it is a challenge. The trailer was designed originally for a flat bottom jon, so it has no bunks or rollers of any sort, and that's where I'm starting. Is there anyone else who has to hand launch? If so, how do you load it back up easier by yourself? I know I need a couple keel rollers and some actual bunks, but what else? Also, should I be building the bunks to lay flat, or on edge?
Thanks for the help
