I suppose that would greatly depend on the boat and trailer, yet you don’t have to back up so far to float the boat off bunks completely either. There ment to slide, yet a complete dry slide on a heavy boat could be an issue for sure, I’d guess.
I had the benefit of a tilt trailer, so I stacked the 2 tires and they were basically touching the hull before I even tilted. That got most of the weight off the bunks. A guy could do the same thing if he jacked up the trailer, then lowered it with supports (tires) underneath.

I’m glad I didn’t read your reply before I did it, as it likely would have been enough to make me not try it, lol. Not like it saved me much, but I hate asking for help.
