I've always had a roller trailer and felt that it was fairly simple to keep the milfoil off. I would get everything off when I left the lake and if I were going to a non-infested lake I would again get under the trailer and search with a fine tooth comb in the driveway before I went to the next lake. I would also roll the boat back 6-12 inches to make sure nothing was caught between the rollers and the boat.
I recently bought a boat with a bunk trailer and I'm very concerned about milfoil that may get trapped between the boat and the bunk when loading. The only option I can think of is to jack the back of the boat up and check, and then jack the front of the boat up and check to make sure there's no milfoil. This is not a real simple thing to do with a 2500 lb boat and I was wondering if anybody had any tips or tricks they use to make sure you aren't transporting milfoil with bunk trailers?
Also, how long does milfoil need to be out of water before it no longer will have the ability to spread?

Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
