bunk trailer versus rollers for 14' Janus Ghost

I'm looking to purchase a 13' Janus Ghost and need to purchase a trailer to haul. Will a 14' trailer with bunks made for a Jon boat work for her, or will it likely damage the hull? Photos attached.

My concern is that the bunks being strait and the boat being round, the weight of the boat will fall on four contact points rather than be spread out.

Re: bunk trailer versus rollers for 14' Janus Ghost

I have an AMF Alcort 14' Flying Fish that has been on a bunk trailer with shorter bunks than yours and a centerline roller forward for, well, 40 years without a problem. Because the trailer was built for a motor boat with a heavy engine on its transom, it was a bit of a bother to get the the tongue weight right with the sailboat.
