Totally agree.....when I first got a bunk, I was doing the same thing until someone pointed it out. I love the thing now!!!!!!!

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.

I have had both on a 26 foot 5,000 lb boat....bunks R great once U adjust them...no guide ons.... drive boat on down the center....may have to crank a foot or so....I find that most boaters do not adjust the bunk guides.

Take a rainy day, do not have to worry about boaters... go to ramp have your wrenches to adjust, most of time only have to adjust the rear of the bunks...may have to test in the water a couple of times...
