[QUOTE="ben2go, post: 93541, member: 751"] Sided to side the bunks are perfect.I would lower the bunks after the carpet is on,just enough to support the center(keel) of the boat.Don't for get to support the transom with the bunks.Could get a hull hook from and unsupported transom.There is no magic number when it comes to the height of the transom from the ground.Keep the boat as low as possible on the trailer with out it rubbing the fenders or frame.Tall guide posts work great and/or long side bunks.Lower you can keep the boat on the trailer,the less you have to back into the water.I always get a little nervous when I back down a ramp.More so if I have to dip the rear wheels in the water.Hope this helps out some.
