I have a 2007 Alaskan 1800 with a shorelander roller trailer. If you launch in shallow water, it is the only way to go. I wouldn’t worry about the hull on that boat, my cousin has a 94 Alaskan that he has taken to hell and back and there is no hull damage from the rollers. I launch in high current frequently and do not have any problem with loading, but it would be more difficult to master for someone that had to load their boat in current infrequently.
