I have a 20' Lyman i/o. The trailer it came on has two small bunks on the outer part of the stern and two longer ones nearer the keel - it has two keel rollers and the one towards the bow has made an indent on the keel - the prev owner had stored the boat this way for some time - there appears to be no other distortion besides under this one keel roller.

Should I replace both keel rollers with several - along the length of the keel (will this just cause many areas of damage over time?)- or support the keel with a bunk............

Asking alot but it would be waaay easier if I can make these adjustments somehow with the boat on the trailer at this point.
Thanks. - will try to post a pic - but a pic your setup would be helpful - very visual here.

I would suggest more rollers, to distribute the weight. Can't see it being easy to launch and recover with a bunk for the keel.
