The boat has been on its mooring and never been on the trailer. I plan to haul the boat this weekend and want to know if someone has the same trailer and boat combination and can help by telling me how to properly set up the bunks (what holes the bunks need to be in) before I haul the boat. As a side note, the former trailer was a very old/very rusty Tee Nee trailer. It had 4 keel rollers. The new EZ Loader only has 2 keel rollers - is that enough? Sales guy said 'yes' - but I wonder........ Thanks in advance. Graham PS - the 13' (completely refinished) is for sale! I need to make space for the new (to me) Outrage 18. You can see it by going to craigslist in Maine.

I'd also take a few tools in case the fit is completely miserable. It it's not too bad I would trailer it home and adjust it in the driveway. I would think 2 rollers and bunks would be fine for a 13'. Ted 1985 15' CC, 1994 60 hp Merc (Wednesday built), 5" jack plate

The bunks are only used as guides to keep the boat level on the trailer and should not support all the weight of the boat.

Then lift it from the keel on the bow and raise the bunks there to make it even on the trailer. Just needs to be off the rollers.
