Bunk Trailer Better Choice?

[gpag]

Had an interesting day at the ramp today.  I launch in the tidal Bass River in S. Yarmouth Ma.  The tie-up at the dock is on the up river side.  When I came back to the ramp the tide was going out and the current was really strong, pushing the boat against the dock.  When I pulled the boat out I didn't like the way it sat on the trailer.  The current made it hard to get the boat to sit correctly on the rollers.  So, I backed it back down (no one else at the ramp) to try again.  This time it was impossible to get the boat straight.  The bow was over the terailer but the stern was pushed against the dock at an angle.  A good soul asked iof I could use some help. I had him push the stern away from the dock so I could get the boat on the trailer properly.

Would a bunk trailer have made this process easier?  I am considetring converting the trailer from roller to bunk but haven't made my mind up yet.
Thanks

Not sure on that one, maybe some guide posts would help.

I set up my guide posts tight on the hull . I have been at ramps and dick's have come through throwing big wakes, be a nightmare on the gel coat without the guide posts. They flex a bit and allow up  up and down movement, not banging on the fenders at least. Nice when coming in with a strong side wind or current too.

Great idea

You may have the trailer a bit deep too. I find that when I get my trailer at the right depth it helps in loading the boat, especially if there is current. Guide posts help a lot.

Guide posts and not backing in quite so far. You should need to "drive" the boat up the trailer. Even pulling it up with the winch is ok. I also have my guide posts pretty tight. When at the coast I put in on the Inner Coastal and at the right times, it flows pretty heavy across the trailer. At home, my lake is a "recreational" lake just outside Charlotte NC. So, lots of idiots!

I do not think bunks would fix this issue, rather they would likely help float the trailer and cause it to drift in strong current. I think the above posts hit the nail on the head.
