I am thinking about getting rid of the rollers and building my trailer into a bunk trailer. Then ill save myself from building a cradle and ill have better support period for the boat. What do you guys think?

Yep, always better off with bunks over rollers. That sounds like a good idea.

I will have to look at my trailer and see how feasible it is to do.
How many bunks should I have?

Jamie best advice yet and i agree 100% and after everything is said and done just maybe he should dump the roller trailer and go with bunk because roller trailer's have a tendency to create De lamination . .
