Hello looking at a 19ft tournament with bunk alum trailer.I have owned the same boat years ago with a roller trailer and i am not sure of this set up.Is it a good match for like the NJ area.Delaware bay ramps?
 
I have the 192 and tow it on a bunk trailer launching on the InterCoastal in Savannah, GA where the tide changes dramatically with a serious current. Don't know anything about Delaware ramps, but I get in and out pretty easily and it trailers great after I got the bunks adjusted properly.
 
Bunk Trailer would be fine if you make sure the bunks are lubed with silicone or some equally slippery substance...have used most every ramp in DE never had a problem...But my bunks are slippery... I can back up to the ramp hit the brakes and my boat slides right off.
 
My 205 rides on an aluminum bunk trailer and I have no problems launching or retrieving. I drive the boat on the trailer and let the motor overcome the resistance of the bunks.
 
If I buy the boat I am looking at I would be happy to trade you the roller trailer for the bunk trailer. It has brakes -does yours?
