[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 488782, member: 22613"] Looks right to me. There's a couple things to look for, mainly if the bunks extend an inch or so past the transom, that's important or the bunks will hammer a dent in the hull. The other is trailer length and how the boat sits on it for weight distribution, I've seen some rig a boat on a trailer that is way too short, you can extend the bunks and "make it work", but it's difficult to get the weight set up right to pull decent because the axle is too far ahead. Adding some length seems like a good idea since that is a rather tall trailer. One thing that you may want to add is a pair of guide bunks on both sides, without them it can be a little difficult to load in heavy wind/current. [/QUOTE]
