[QUOTE="FuzzyGrub, post: 489282, member: 3438"] IMO, I think it will only provide marginal additional support. You have the transom well supported, which is key. On the other hand, as long as you don't create a point load, its not going to do harm. Relating length of boat to length of bunk, may not be the best approach. It probably has more to do on how your boat was constructed and where it should be supported. I still have a older EZ loader, that has the old style 4', center pivoting bunks. It created no issues with a light 14' or a heavier 14' Starcraft. Those bunks are on edge, having less than 1/2 the surface area of flat laid ones. Do you see any deformation of the hull from the current set-up? [/QUOTE]
