Default Hull doesn't rest flush on rollers

My hull doesn't rest flush on the rear rollers because of the varied angle of the chines. In the rear they're two sets of 6 wobbler rollers (48 rollers total), and the lower rollers (the ones closest to the center), are all flush. The upper ones support the hull on just the very top edge of the roller.

What is my best remedy? Can I retro fit the rollers with multiple bunks that pivot?
The dealer is not helping me at all.

Thanks for any help.

If the rig is under warranty, the dealer should do this work for you.
If not, a welder will have to change the angle so that she is well supported when trailered. Position is not as important when she she is being floated on and winched up.

I agree the dealer should take care of the problem if the boat was purchased with the trailer or if the trailer was specified for the particular boat. If the dealer won't help, contact the trailer manufacturer for advice. And tell them about your experience with with the dealer.

You havent specified the brand or construction of the trailer, but on mine (Venture), everything is bolted on and adjustable. Make sure you have full support at the transom.

Most trailers are adjustable. But I'd have to see pictures to understand what you're talking about.
