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?

Building starting next spring so maybe next Sept? There's electric on site so I'll pull a camper out there next summer and live there. I'll shower at the gym, work or in the nearby lake 😆
There were some leaves changing when I was at the cabin a couple weeks ago. Headed back up on Monday, it'll be interesting to see how much more.
The ferns were also starting to get brown.
Livin’ the dream!
We had 45 in Little Falls when I woke up this morning. Been seeing leaves turn yellow for a couple weeks now. Just got done with a neighborhood walkabout and even some green leaves are letting loose and dropping.
Lakeshore was kind of out of my price range, less than desirable waterfront is 50k an acre minimum and nice lakeshore is 100k+ an acre. I got just under 7 acres up against state land out in the woods, building about a 1400 sq ft home and 24x36 garage. As maintenance free as possible, clover yard too. Can't be doing chores instead of pestering the walleye. I think we got frost last night
