Timber Trailer Bunks
 
Does anyone have large timber trailer bunks on their trailers? I bought a Formula 353 with a Rocket trailer. The trailer has two timber bunks (4" X 10"?) that support the boat. When I was towing the boat from Jacksonville, the starboard timber split the entire length of the bunker (about 15' long). I was afraid the boat was going to be damaged but managed to limp it in to Pesacola to have it replaced. These timber bunks are new to me and I feel the boat probably needs more support. Any thoughts?

I personally dont like the way they support the boat in only 2 locations especially on a step-bottom boat , also the way they load, are you bringing the boat to Phx? Randall's might be able to re-configure your bunk system,

Yeah, I made it back to Phoenix last Thursday. Cost me $1,400 to have the bunks replaced at a marina. Where is Randall's located? What don't you like about how they load?
