Converting trailer from bunks to rollers

Quick question (posted it the first time by accident on the Brat map forum).

I am planning to convert my bunk trailer to rollers - four "banks" eight rollers each.

Have a pro doing the set up so that should not be a problem.

Any issues I need to worry about concerning conversion of a bunk trailer to rollers for a "22".

Thanks

Ken
 
The only issue I can think of is to try to make sure there is >=8" of space between the sets of rear rollers. My EZ loader just barely has enough space between the rollers to set the boat on the trailer from a sling (the sling I use to launch from most often has a strap that looks to be about 7" wide). When the boat gets set on the trailer with this particular sling, sometimes the strap is caught so tight in the rollers that we have to do a lot of work to get it out or re-position the boat. With a little wider gap, life would be easier. Why switch to rollers if you have a perfectly good bunk trailer? If the reason is to allow you to use a sling, I'd suggest that you get the bunks slotted so that strap will go in a slot.
