Intesting that your port side is not making contact Bobbie. My port side has a large gap, probably near 1/2" at the widest gap. Starboard would appear to touch at a glance, but looking closely, does not touch either.

The two outer bunks have full contact with the boat, but the two inner bunks do not touch the boat for probably 3 feet in front of the transom.

My concerns are:
1.) I've always thought that a boat's primary support bunks were the middle two
2.) The bunks should come to the very end of the transom to support the transom/weight of motor, etc. properly.

I currently have neither of those two things happening the way they should be. I don't want to develop any stress cracks or issues down the road as I plan to own this boat for a while. The boat is very close to centered on the trailer.

Steve, do you have any more input on this?

Thank you,

Tucker
