Can you post some pics of what you are dealing with? I have an '80 245 sitting on a bunk trailer. The bunks support the hull under the strakes. Think the key is to be as close to the stringers as possible and still extend back far enough to support transom without interfering with the tabs. My original trailer was rollers and not cost effective to repair. Can take some measurements if it helps but you are probably best to do final adjustments with your hull. You can support it with cribbing on level ground for that.

First off you have an amazing looking boat, I can only hope that mine looks half the good when I'm done with it. I'll work on posting some pics. From what I can tell yours only has 2 bunkers it would be very helpful to me if you could measure the rear bunkers from the center of the trailer and the length of them.
Thanks for responding.
Hey Joel, sorry have been on the road. As Dennis said, final bunk adjustments can be done quite easily with the boat on it with some cribbing. You have to adjust it to your hull so correct tongue weight can be achieved. As for my measurements, here they are if they help you get started.First off you have an amazing looking boat, I can only hope that mine looks half the good when I'm done with it.

This information will help me out a bunch, Thanks for your time!Hey Joel, sorry have been on the road.

Bunks are 3"x6" on edge and 12' long. They are spaced 56" apart on their centers. Measured from the center of the two axels they extend to the rear 73". This puts their trailing edge just under the transom and not beyond for trim tab clearance. If I remember correctly, this put it just shy of 400 lbs on the hitch which handles great behind my 2500 GMC.
Should add that there may be differences in opinions as far a the front guides go. They are snug on mine but are not supporting weight. When the winch is sucked up tight to the bow eye it all stiffens up and eliminates any flexing in the frame rails while cruising down the road.
