1 bow roller vs 2 bow rollers

Is there any advantage of the two bow roller set ups vs. the traditional 1 bow roller set up?

I’ve had a couple wit the two setup and both times it required me to put the trailer deeper than normal while launching/retrieving. I switched them both to single. Your results may vary.

If you are going to make any changes, switch to a split bow stop setup as pictured. It’s far and away the best design.

I prefer the single as I can crank the bow eye to the roller and it can not slide forward in a panic sto and it positions the boat in the exact place every time. .

^^^^ This. I have owned boats on trailers with dual roller, single roller and v -block. V-Block is by far the easier to load and most secure going down the road. If I had to choose between single and double roller it would be single. A lot also depends on proper set-up with winch at the correct height.
