[QUOTE="( deleted account ), post: 221318, member: 5993"] Not sure what a liquid bunk is, but after years of rolls, my new boat (18 yrs ago) had a bunk and I hated it! I trod kind of plastic plates that easily fasten to the bunk supports, and now I LOVE IT! All the advantages of both, better support, easy on and off, etc. My other boat about the same length has rollers, and I can’t tell which is better. Both good. Get used to your ow set up. With mine, back into the water so it’s level with the top of the fenders, and instant on and off. You’ll find the”sweet spot” after you use it a bit. As a general rule, the top of the fenders seems to fit most, but not all boat trailer setups and ramp slopes. Be careful following the advice to unhook the safety chain before you back down. IMHO up and down a ramp is probably the best/only time you need it, not when driving down the road. Over the years I’ve personally seen 2 boats slide on to the ramp and have heard of several others. Had my roller slide into the water when my fishing buddy unthinkingly unhooked the safety chain, then hit the brakes pretty hard just as I was luckily far enough down the ramp to land in the water. Engine was still up so no damage or even “launch rash” on the boat. [/QUOTE]
