I just added some bunks to my trailer and recovered the existing ones. I think this is the best thing I've done with this rig because it used to be horrible to load. Today (first time out with the fixed up trailer) I made some guys in a ~$30k Javelin fish-n-ski look like amateurs. Maybe they were though. They did slam the boat into the dock so hard that it cracked their fiberglass. They also put some healthy scratches on it when they missed the trailer. Mine went on smooth as silk though. It made me forget about the offset seat post flying off of the fishing seat and into the water.
Here's the thread with my trailer upgrades (2nd page)

Your bunks look great! I showed your pics to my husband, who suddenly remembered that he thought he spotted a problem with our bunks last summer. In our rush to get launched, and then at the end of the day to get off the water, we forget things like bunks, especially when we have a boat full of guests. With I/O, I was able to drive the boat onto the trailer. V drive is a whole 'nuther story. It's frustrating. I hate slamming the boat into reverse (with 6-10 people on the boat) to keep from hitting something and then have to do another approach of that trailer.
Approaching the trailer with more speed seems to be the only way to keep the boat going straight. Scary!
