[quote=smfinley]I like the dual rollers on the back and cradles on the front of the trailer. I don't have that setup, but my brother does, and it makes getting the boat on and off easy and protects the hulls better then my single roller front and rear. On my H18 I use two straps in the front (one around each hull) and one at the rear going across both hulls and the tramp. Then a rope holding the mast to the front mast cradle and an old cradle sitting on the rear cross bar of the boat holding the back of the mast, with it tied down with a rope.
I personally have not seen someone use more then 4 straps to hold the boat to the trailer, but more can't hurt as long as you don't mind putting them all on and taking them back off.
My personal thought is when you have each corner tied down independent of the other, if one strap fails nothing will happen, if two fail you might have a problem but not likely. If more then that fail it was destiny and you needed a new boat.
I will also check the trailer when I stop for gas.[/quote]
