Thank you for your service.

For your 1974 AMF Crestliner Muskie, from what I can find online is a nice boat that will work really well with roller bunks on the trailer. I recommend the Dutton-Lainson Boat Trailer Deluxe Roller Bunk - 5' Long Sections - 12 Sets of 3 Rollers # DL21741 you mentioned. This will allow you to launch easily. You will want to make sure you have a rope to hold onto your boat as I've heard of people being ill prepared for such an easy launch compared to bunk boards and their boat launched without them.

I recommend using the Boat Trailer Roller Bunk Bracket for Dutton-Lainson Roller Bunks Parts DL21740 & DL21741 # DL21742 along with the CE Smith U-Bolt - Galvanized - 3-13/16" Long x 3-1/16" Wide x 1/2" Diameter - Qty 1 # CE15283GA to install these bunks. If you need a different size u-bolt let me know and I'll see what will work best for your frame dimensions.
