Hi David, I see one of your rollers is cracked. I am sure you have too. My first boat trailer for a 21 foot Lugar had roller arms like that as well as the keel rollers. It was a very nice setup and followed the hull perfectly. All the rollers distribute the load evenly among themselves, a very nice setup. Only problem with that though is when one roller goes, its metal axle bears directly on the hull. Good luck.

Cool pics! Looks like it went way easier than you thought originally?
It’s possible I overthink things sometimes or maybe all the time.

I am still researching trailer options.
I see you have your M17 on an EZ Loader trailer. Is that a custom trailer, or one of their stock adjustable trailers?
This is the trailer the original owner bought with the boat 30 years ago.
I can’t tell you more as boat and trailer have been sitting idle for ten years and I’m just trying to get them working again.

Can you take/send a pic of how you raised it and have it blocked?
If the photos (http://adobe.ly/1oorikz) don’t explain enough I can tell you more.
The procedure only worked because this trailer has a frame member in just the right place. I don’t think it was designed for that, I just got lucky.
