Are you planning any raised "guides" on the trailer sides or "post" on the rear of the trailer. If not I suspect loading could be a problem. At the ramp if everything is perfect things might work out without them BUT things at the ramp are NEVER perfect.

Boats with deep Vs are very good about self centering but the shallower the V the more things get interesting. In your situation is there is even the slightest cross wind or current the rear of the hull will tend to drift to the side. I don't think the two center bunks will cause it to self align. I am thinking as you pull the trailer out the keel will just climb out of the slot and settle at an angle across the bunks. This may even be more pronounced because the hull appears light with a shallow draft (both good attributes). But wind an currents will probably move it around even more.

You are absolutely correct as I have had similar experience with my pontoon boat. Where and how many has not been decided yet. My plan is continuing slowly and I expect to do the flip within two weeks. The hull has been lifted off the building frame and the shear is approximately level with the top of the trailer. It is supported on three 2 x 6s x 10' that are fastened to the trailer.

Plan "B" will not be necessary! Fifteen minutes and it's done, I can't believe it.
