RE: M_Boats: skids versus keel rollers for M-17 trailer

I think skids are good idea. Little more friction pulling the boat up the bunks if that's necessary, but still a better idea in my opinion. If the skid has sides, it works as a nice guide too. Also spreads the load on the keel better than a roller. t Tom Smith & Jane Van Winkle M17 #496 -- dharma bum
