[Rhodes22-list] trailer repairs

[Rick]

All you need to do is drill the bolt holes into the bunks at the outer ends
of each slot.  Insert the bolts and loosely tighten the nuts.  Add the boat
and then tighten the nuts.  Now you have bunks perfectly formed to keep the
boat from wobbling on the trailer.
