[QUOTE="Zum, post: 93089, member: 349"] I can't really tell from the pictures but maybe that trailer is alittle small for a 14' boat and he just made it like that so it "would work". He might of left the bunks sticking out that long for support(boat transom) and attached them way up front for strength or easiest place to do it? If your worried that they are to long and the boat will be hard to launch,you could try cutting some peices of teflon cutting board and coutersinking them to the top of the 2X6...just watch out,I hear they are mighty slick after doing that(havn't tried it myself). I don't have submerible lights,all I do is disconnect them before putting them into the water...worked for 3 years so far,never even blew a bulb. If I were to buy new lights,I'd be looking at LED type lights. If your wondering about the lights on top of PVC,your probably going to have to run seperate ground wires down to your trailer. Just looked at the trailer agian,you say it's a tilt trailer,maybe thats why the bunks are long,easier tipping(leverage)? and maybe 2X6 to get the boat over the wheels? [/QUOTE]
