Roller Bunks For Parker Boats Model 1801 Center Console

Question:

Good Morning, I have a Parker 1801, weight says 2050lbs, does not say if that is with the 115 HP Yamaha, if we assume not and add fuel and motor to get to 2500 lbs, will two sets of these be OK? I have 8 foot long 4 inch wide wooden bunks, thank you.

I recommend the Dutton-Lainson Boat Trailer Deluxe Roller Bunk # DL21740 with their 2,500lb capacity per set over the CE Smith # CE27700. With them only having a 1,500lb capacity limit per set I would not feel comfortable using them on your boat.

The majority of the weight will tend to be on the rear of the boat. I would fear the rear set of rollers becoming damaged as they might be very close to their limit by the time you add any other gear or accessories to the boat.
