The boat rides the trailer pretty well. I am going to change the brackets holding the bunks to the swivel type so that the wide face bears the weight instead of the narrow edge. It will also increase the area of the hull that is supported. That said, I had a fiberglass dory on that trailer for 10's of thousands of miles without damaging its hull. 12" wheels are a must for going any distance or higher speeds. I actually found some radial tires for it and that helps too.
Thanks for the kind words about her looks. I am definitely happy with how she turned out!
