Thanks for reading I am having a little bit of an issue launching my 14 ft Flat bottom boat at lake Skinner . I am having to back into the water
to far to make it easy to move my boat on and off it's trailer . The trailer is taller than what usually comes with a 14 ft Aluminum boat flat or
"V" bottom so that launching can take place on rivers in areas where ramps are either nonexistent or to far away to be practical .
The bunks are sitting on the trailers frame and can not be made to go lower . I use a Jeep Wrangler to tow and launch but because of the height
of the trailer and the Jeeps short wheelbase when I get in deep enough to just barely be buoyant enough to launch or or Summer I wouldn't care
about a LiL' water but it's BRRRRRRRRRR COLD! this time of year so i end up using the rear lift window to get in and out a P.I.A.
The Bunks are flat carpet so if I added rollers or converted to roller Bunks It would not be necessary to back in so far I could use the motor
to get off and on the trailer.
Anyone ever come up with something that would work for FLAT rollers maybe 4 to 5 feet wide ? I am able fabricate brackets and have Mig Welding equip.
So creative solutions are welcome!
Thanks
