If your storage cradle can be elevated high enough to allow the scupper cart to be inserted after the boat is pulled out half way you would no longer need to roll the boat on it's side.
Here is my setup. I really didn't want the TI so high up but I had to work with in my trailer already setup for kayaks, but it actually works quite well. I can insert the scupper cart fully then slide the the boat off. The only problem is because of the steep angle, as the stern of the TI approaches the ground or boat ramp you have to make sure it doesn't scrape. I don't back into the water at the ramps. I go sailing with my wife so I have assistance getting boat on and off trailer but I think I could do it solo if really had to.
Eventually I will get a new trailer so the TI is on the bottom and kayaks, SUP's can go on top, but until then this setup works well for me, plus it builds up my muscles lifting that heavy TI.
