Best of both worlds-- forward rollers, and rear slick bunks (NO CARPET )
I recommend the combo of rollers up front and bunks on the rear - best of both worlds.

My boat is 14.5 welded aluminum.I had rollers on the Allspeed aluminum trailer and the rollers left dents in the boat where rollers where.Replaced the rollers with 8 foot 2x4 bunks and ended up breaking the welds that hold the seats in and having left hair line cracks in the bottom of boat that needed welding.Replaced the 2x4 bunks with 2x10 from transom 8 feet forward and double layer of beaber carpet ,now I need to repaint the bottom of the boat as the bunks took all the paint off.I wish I could trust loading and tying /strapping the boat full of camp/fishing gear, and traillering down gravel roads without breaking stuff .As I understood rollers bruise the fiberglass hulls.fc
