Ideally, you want bunks supporting the boat all the way to the transom, with the bunks extending at least an inch or more beyond the transom, keeping the resting weight off the rollers. Personally, I like nylon skids on my bunks vs. carpet - especially with an aluminum boat.  Regarding the repair, I think the distinction between a “bend” and a “crease” matters.  I would probably attempt flattening a bend with wood block & rubber mallet. An actual crease might give me pause, just realizing that pounding might weaken/split the metal, which would then require a whole different approach to repair. Good luck with whatever approach you take!</p></blockquote><p></p>
