Default Trailer adjustment...

So last year boat a trailer for my 311 formula. Bought it used, but it was basiclly a brand new trailer from heritage. Trailer was built for a 32 ft chaparral. The 311 fits ok on the trailer but not perfect. Problem is bunks are non adjustable. So short of cutting and rewelding all the bunks is there maybe a way to adjust or move bunks around? I can cut the boards to make it fit perfect but some bunks are too low to hit the bottom of the boat. Could I just put another 2x6 in like a 1 ft section under the bunk too raise it up the bunk to contact the bottom?

You can do that. You want support in multiple areas.

Trace the lines with cardboard and make new wood bunks.

i'd get a reputable boat trailer place togive you a price on moving/setting up the bunks. If you get it wrong the boat will suffer
