I have bunks but real trouble launching near Ilfracombe - could use your rollers if still available (if Mr Sheene doesnt work!)

Im up the road in Bristol

I have someone who says they want them and will contact you if they don't collect,PS with my other boat I had trouble launching in shallow water as the boats sits quite high on the trailer and would need major surgery to lower it any more,I found the boat stuck to the bunks so I put a nylon rollers down the centre and left the bunks on the sides,I can now roll the boat back and forth on the trailer on dry land and works great in shallow water the v shaped rollers centralise the boat on the trailer which is a bonus.I had the rollers machined and obtained the salt water resistant type nylon from a place in Nailsea(Bristol)chears

Sounds interesting - got any pictures - Pantera is almost 5000lbs would your configuration cope with that weight?

My trailer had central chassis rails that I added the rollers to so you might have to add these,The rollers would be strong enough but you might need thicker pins,I had these made in stainless steel and the nylon machined to my sizes the place in Nailsea is a wholesaler of plastic/nylon and has all different sizes of product so pick the size you need and machine accordingly,my camera is crap but come and have a look if you like,I'm in central Weston Super Mare just behind the sea front

I got some 'super-glyde sticks from the USA, they screw on top of the bunks.
The boat almost launches itself!
Just for safety, they include a sticker Warning that the boat must be ready to go ,,,,, or else !!!!
