Guides as shown above work good, and if the bunks are setup right, and you don't back the trailer in too deep, the bunks will keep the front of the boat centered. I like having bunks as far forward as possible.

I forgot to post on this and thought it might be useful for builds using hull side coring....

The upper 2 inches of the hull sides (rub rail area) needed to be thickened due to the 3/8'' coring protruding past and the need of something for the cap to screw to (I have decided to ditch the original liner) so I used some core mat I had laying around cut in 2'' strips. I used 2 layers capped with a layer of 1708. I used a drape cloth over the 3/8'' coring to protect/prevent resin spilling all over the coring.

Really Happy with how it turned out!

I agree with the poles but they are usually just to guide you. What do you have to keep the front of the hull from drifting port or starboard when pulling up on the trailer? Are there rollers?

Is this the same trailer?

Sure looks purdy

Got her back. Question for all. Trailer fenders are in bad shape and look as if they WANT to scratch my new paint job. I'm thinking trailer guides. Any suggestions, like "a single pole with a pvc tube over it is better than a rail". I'm leaning towards the single pole attached with ubolts. All the boats I regularly trailer are aluminum and commercial grade so scratching them was never a concern.



Other boat with donor motor (115 yamaha 4stroke) at the shop having motor checked out.
