Question:

I have a LUND 18ft 10in Pro-Deep V boat that is difficult to load on the factory trailer that just has bottom bunks and 2 post type upright guides on the back. It is very difficult load in the wind since the boat is very heavy. I wonder if side bunk additions 60 inch? would be the way to improve things?

Expert Reply:

Yes, bunk-style boat guide-ons will indeed make it easier to help load your boat onto your trailer, as it'll guide it up and in, stabilizing it on the way, and there is an option for 60 inch guide-ons:

- CE Smith Bunk-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers - 60" Long # CE27600

The # CE27600 fits trailer frames up to 3" wide x 4-1/4" tall, but will fit frames up to 3" wide x 5-1/4" tall if you add the CE Smith Extra-Long U-Bolt Kit # CE11416.
