Darn, your trailer came with a wood "angel". All I got was a little troll with mine.

But, I supposed the "angel" I've got at home is plenty for me, and I've never really gotten her aligned very well as it is.

Oops, One more time.

Herb,

Please tell us the brand name and model of the trailer, possibly post a photo of it, or email one to me. We''l see what can be done to get you set up correctly.

herb333,

I have my '77 13 sport on a '96 performance trailer. My bunks are almost flat. Most of the boat's weight should be supported on the keel rollers, not the bunks. The bunks just need to stbalize the hull so it doesn't rock on the trailer.

There is more general trailer info here:

Hope this helps some.

Jeremy

jeremy how are your bunks adjusted are they flat or at an angel
the problem I am having is that yes most of the weight is on the rollers but the bottom on the boat that is tuching the bunks is only hitting on part of the wood

thank you for the info
