I have a 65 Whaler that uses a bunk trailer. Although the boat is only 16' and doesn't weigh much, centering can be a slight challenge.

My previous 22 center console utilized a combo - rollers in back with 2 bunk supports up front. I absolutely loved this combination. As long as you submerged trailer appropriately, the boat would self center itself and if you were solo, the bunks up front aided greatly with launch & retrieval.

My newer 23 center console utilizes all rollers and I'm still getting used to it after 2 years! This self centers also but launching with my family/wife can be challenging at times.
