Simple Question. Do I need rollers on my traier? I bought this trailer(http://www.wescotrailers.net/images/galv1727.jpg) about a year and a half ago. And reading articles and post on this site and others, I get nervous about not having rollers to support the keel of my boat. 1967 Nautauk. I travel about 6 hours twice a year to the beach, but other that that it is only a short drive to the lake. The boat rides great on the trailer, I have never had any problems.

Thanks

You have a traditional bunk "float-on" style. Given the long bunks on both sides, you are fine.

Some recommending a keel roller on the rear to help load but if the boat launches and retrieves without problems, why mess with a good thing?
