[quote=shortyfox]When you say "bunks" I assume you mean lengthwise boards that the hulls rest on, and that's a good way to distribute weight with boats that have little rocker like the getaway. Figure out a way to mount rollers at the back of the bunks. Mount them so they're barely above the aft end of the bunks. The getaway has a front cross tube so tie the line from your trailer winch to it, perhaps tie a bridle in there if you think the load will be excessive. With each bow firmly against the rollers with some pressure from the winch, give the bows a little lift and they will start to go over the rollers. You will have some mechanical advantage if you just lift the line. It helps to have another person keep the boat straight during this process. It also helps to have the trailer winch mounted as high as possible on the yoke so as some of the pull will be upward. Removing the trailer box and dunking the hubs might be easier than all of that, you'll just have to get the bearings packed more often.[/quote]
