It would be interesting to get some measurements posted from various trailers out there to see where the bunks are placed on the trailers. Height of the bow roller, height of each Stanchion (post) on the bunks and how far apart from each other, length of the bunks and how far apart the bunks are from each other in the front and the back. If the trailer outer frame is used as a reference I could get a good Idea as to how the trailer should be set up. I know I had the same problem with the bow up too far and have lowered the bow roller 6” and raised the rear bunks up 7 ½” and the boat is still not level. I have a DHM trailer and I think the bunks are placed too far out. The rear goes up past the water line. Any measurements from any brand of trailer would be great! I have tried to get the information from Catalina and as of this time have gotten no reply.

Oscar, the side shot of your boat on your trailer that you posted recently was the best over all image I have seen for showing the way a WB should sit on a trailer. It clearly shows where the aft part of the bunks can stop and the relative lines of your shear to the pavement. Could you post it again for these guys?

Oscar, great picture. Where do you stowe your roller furling jib during transport?
