    Bow stop or bow roller?

    I’m doing some maintenance to my 1994 Ranger trailer and realize the front bow stop is cracked and needs to be replaced. I see a lot of guys with the bow rollers on the front. What’s better in your opinion? The bow stop or the bow roller? Which one makes it easier to load the boat? What’s a good one that everyone recommends? Any help here would be appreciated guys. Thanks.

    I second the Stoltz roller from Drewcraft.

    Put a Stoltz on mine and works significantly better than the factory roller.

    Another vote for the roller, specifically the Stoltz.
