Plenty of stories of hulls on roller trailers getting all tweaked out of shape from sitting on pressure points with soft cores. The trick is to build a good cradle and use the cradle to blueprint the hulls shape. A lot of hulls are not true from the factory due to heat curing warping and age and storage blah blah. When I did mine I used many techniques to get the hull sitting as true as possible before laying up glass. It made faring a lot easier and the hull runs tops.
