How far apart do most of you guys have your bunks (skegs) on your trailer. Mine are to far apart and unless the boat is put on the trailer perfect then it sits cocked on the trailer.
What do you consider cocked? As long as each bunk contacts the same (complementary) planing surface of the vd hull, I'm good to go.

Default Re: trailer bunks

I have a new floaton I went to the factory in vero beach fla. and bought.My my bunks are under the most outward chimes and loads nice every time.Tim the owner told me they started adjusting the boats to the outer chime for a few reasons.first they found that the boat loaded better and he said that the boat sit lower on the trailer for better stability.I also like it because its a little easier to get in and out of on the trailer.Something you need to be carfull of is not to adjust your boat any further forward than were your transome end on the bunk,the reason is if you are on the outer chime and have your trim tabs down when you load they will be history from the weight of the boat.I have heard people on this site talk about the bunks being under the stringers so as not to do damage to the hull.I am no expert on trailers and am telling what was told to me.If you would like me to e-mail you some pics let me no. Good luck Keith
