If those bunk brackets are bending, you might also want to consider requesting a second set of bunks running inside of the existing bunks. It would help spread the weight.

There's a limit on these?

That trailer isn't set up right based on your last posts about how it is to tow. That rig needs to go to a decent trailer dealer.

To be honest I don't really trailer this boat. I have pulled it out of the water for a day or two with it but I have no plans to drive this on the highway. Too tall and too wide for my liking. I might take it 3 miles from the house to the ramp but that is it. If you have the right truck it trailers OK but you will not see me driving this on I-95. I have been in a big duramax rig towing this boat and it was fine. But I really don't want to get into that much truck. I have the yard pull it and block it up. It is too big for me to pull on a regular basis.
But.... I want the trailer set up right anyway and now is a good time to do it. (boat is on blocks and ferry rates are cheap now) Personally I think it sits a little flat (I agree) and the bunks could be raised or tilted slightly and that would make somewhat better but I still want it easier to load and the load spread on more surface area than one roller. But I want all this done by a professional.

I would like to take it to a good trailer dealer that knows what to do and how to do it...WHO? is the question. I need someone say from New Bedford to Orleans on the cape...anyone got a name that I can call that they would trust?
