If the Trailer is set-up properly for the Hull,Loading should be a Breeze.The Boat should center itself on the Rollers.NO way I'm Hand Winching my Boat,That's enough to make ya' get rid of a Roller Trailer in...

    New Grady 228 owner

    I went with the 12x12's so I didn't have to re-drill for wider Tabs.For the most part most manufactuers don't put enough Tab on their Boats.They need to work without having to Dig them in.Lowest Planing speed?
