[QUOTE="BassBlaster, post: 183210, member: 2865"] I really think having 3' of a boat hanging off the back of a trailer unsupported is just asking to have transom problems down the road. Even a light weight tin boat with a small outboard. The transom is gonna take quite a beating over time and the hull will flex where the support stops causing leaks especially in a riveted boat. Even if you extend the bunks to the end of the boat, wooden bunks dont provide a lot of support without support under them. JMO I see it in my area all the time too. People do lots of things they shouldnt do because they have no clue what damag they are causing. Just becasue you seeit dosnt mean its the right way. [/QUOTE]
