I have a LP stacking launching trolley and my boat sits on the gunwale supports but also rests on the front hull support. This has rubbed away some gel goat and damages the boat. I have seen on many other similar trolleys that the hull doesn't actually rest on the front hull support. Should my boat be resting on its hull when it has gunwale supports?

Mine is the LP launch trolley & doesn't rest on the support under the front,
I think thats just to help guide the boat on & off,
the front horseshoe rest under the front gunnel is the actual support.
Out of choice I wouldn't buy one again the old bramber type was much better.

The older type trolleys are definitely easier to retrieve your boat back onto,
these new ones with the side stubby legs just catch the gunnel as your trying to pull the boat back on,
the older ones also seemed better balanced when moving with the rig up,
& that front horseshoe just seems like an after thought,
I suppose if you need to stack lasers then there possibly a good idea, but how many of us club sailors stack there boats ?
