All I can say is it's easier for me to load/unload my 23 with the bunks than it was for my 17 with the rollers. All you do is float the boat on/off and you really don't have to dunk it as far as you would think - the guide poles keep it straight.With the rollers, if you backed in too far, the front rollers would hit first and any wind/current would get the boat off center and either way you had to crank a hell of a lot more.Now it's just a couple cranks to snug it up.I guess every boat's different, but it works great with the Seacraft, the bunks line up just uotboard of the first step on the bottom.I usually use good ramps, but I even launched at this crappy ramp at the end of this street in snug harbor this summer, and was concerned - but it went smooth.Towmasters are made by Nextrail in Florida ( I think they make Loadmaster too) and they set them up custom for your hull and make a delivery run up north with a bunch of trailers.It was less expensive than any dealer trailer by far.
