[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 96821, member: 55"] I wouldn't worry about it, and just extend the bunks to keep from any further damage. You can check for a hooked hull with a long straight edge down the keel, but fixing it isn't practical, so if you don't look at it, you can give it the benefit of the doubt as to it not being bent, but if you do check it, and find it is hooked, you will fret about it for months. To the original question, on jon boats, I find that longer bunks make it easier for loading. Not only should they extend to or past the transom, but I found that on a 14 foot boat, 8 - 10 foot bunks make it load so much easier than 4 foot bunks and the little block or roller that a lot of trailers have.
