V Keel Roller Recommendation for a Gregor Fishing Boat
Question:
Two questions... Given the bunk height choice relative to the chine of my small Gregor fishing boat, I need a couple of keel roller assemblies to aid in loading and support the boat properly while on the road. All things considered, I need to have rollers that will adjust down to where the bearing part of the rollers will be no more than 3 inches above the frame. The CE32003G may do that, perhaps you can tell me for sure one way or the other. The other thing is, it would be really nice if this assembly came with a vee roller. And, come to think of it, if the stock configuration of CE32003G doesnt quite adjust down to 3 inches, maybe the vee roller would help in that regard. I know those 5 inch vee rollers are available on this website but this is a low budget operation and I need to watch it. So, what do you think ?

Expert Reply:
Based on what you said you are looking for I think your best option would be the CE Smith Deep V Keel Roller Assembly # CE10401G. This is a 5 inch V keel roller that will be within 3 inches above the frame and it actually costs less than the Ce Smith CE Smith Keel Roller # CE32003G that you referenced.
