Roller Launch Ramp

I live on a lake in Florida. I have a pie-shaped lot with the point of the pie on the lake. However, I do have a sliver of lake access. I have a Roll-n-Go ramp for my Sea-Doo and have been happy with it. I was thinking of buying one for my Sport 130, but have hesitated on buying a Roll-n-Go over the advice to not use a roller trailer. However, unlike a trailer, there will not be any bumps or loads other than just sitting.

Here is a link to the model that would most likely be appropriate:

This is a link to a Boston Whaler boat on a similar roller setup:

Any opinions on the matter? Thanks.

Given the number of rollers contacting the hull the weight on any one roller should be low. I could see myself trying that ramp.

My preference would be a boat lift on the lot, if possible. Another possibility could be the drive-on floating docks often used by jet skis.
