Message: <blockquote data-quote="grummy" data-source="post: 517029" data-attributes="member: 34668">I've moved the boat ahead since that side photo. Now the bunks hang out about 1" behind the boat when I am up against the front rubber. To this point, I was not too concerned about that trailer because it is sketchy, and I intend to find another trailer. I see pretty decent ones in my area for as low as $150, but they go really fast.All that said, I will be doing some research about the best boat cradling details because I think the current bunks are not far enough apart. I don't dare pull the rear straps very tight as I see the floor moving easily. I think the bunks are supposed to ride a little farther out towards where the curve upwards starts because it would be a lot stronger there. Also, I think I should lay the bunks the flat way if possible rather than on edge to get a hair lower. The less you have to back in at the ramp, the better. At least that seems to appeal to me.I think the 1.5" U channel is necessary too. Never gave it a thought as I just replaced the board that was there and it had nothing but horrid looking yellow paint on it. I've had the handle/caps off because they were busted up and I had to tig a few spots back together. Polished up, I cant even really tell where I fixed them anymore. Thanks for the Tip !</blockquote>
