Serge: You are doing great work. I regret I must comment on your roller trailer. I recommend you cut the 4 roller brackets off your trailer completely and install two balancing bunk boards with center line keel-supports - preferably 12 inch Stoltz brand - on the cross frames. Why should this be done? Your Outrage 19 foam core hull sitting on the "roller trucks" cannot tolerate the concentrated load of a roller touching such a small area of the hull; the result could be permanent deformation of the area where the roller makes contact the hull. Just today I inspected a boat that was otherwise a very nice craft but it was damaged from years of storage upon a roller trailer. You also will not like the black color track marks the rollers will leave on the hull after launch and/or recovery. Your Girl will love you for such a trailer upgrade conversion. I just converted a trailer from roller to bunk for less than $200 in parts, my labor. I completed the conversion in less than 4 hours on a quiet sunday morning. Typically, a hull rests lower to the ground on a set of bunks making launch and recovery of your vessel easier, especially at shallow boat ramps.
