It's typically discouraged at most ramps to "drive on" or "power load", however I have had 2 bunk trailers and they are defintely great to "float on".
How big is your boat? With my previous 19.5' and now 21.5' boats I sink the trailer until about 4' of the bunks are out of the water. If I am next to a dock I can usually walk the boat right on to the bunks, hop down, connect the strap to the bow eye and crank her right up. I have the bunks aligned just right to center the boat on the trailer. If there is no dock then I'll generally drive the boat part ways on to the trailer, hop in to the water and finish up as above.
The float on style trailers typically have a longer tongue which let you sink the trailer deeper if required. I have had no problems loading or unloading at launch ramps from Saco, ME to Falmouth.
I have plenty of friends with roller trailers and they are all generally envious of my sweet aluminum float on style bunk trailer.
