[QUOTE="dwos03, post: 88195, member: 1875"] ^^This was a problem I had with my toon early on. I got some bumpers and mounted them on the vertical tubes so when the trailer is cranked all the way up and you go to pull the toon out of the water the bumpers hit the toons and center the back of the toon and this keeps it from shifting on the road too. Aslo, on the front we mounted some 2 x 4's under the deck of the toon to center it in the front while loading. I have a 24' toon and that current on the Red can make loading and unloading a pain in the ass sometimes so these improvements seem to help a lot. I lower it onto some old truck tires for winter storage. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Personally I went with a center lift because I use mine on the Red River all the time and a bunk trailer just wouldn't work out so well for me. I see bunk trailers all the time at lakes so I assume they work well for that application. I also trailer my toon almost every time I use it. If you do go with a center lift and have a 200 mile round trip you will want to make sure to secure it very well, as woodpecker pointed out already they can shift on you and if the tire starts rubbing I imagine it can blow a tire or wear a hole in you toon or maybe both!
