Can someone sent Barry the trailer drawings please? 
I have hard copies in my file and thought I had E copies but can not dig them out now. 
If nobody can help, I can get to them tomorrow.

The question for the group pertains to bunk spacing on a boatlift that I'm having installed now. Typical boatlift bunks are straight, as there are only two support beams on a lift , and they are over 8' apart. I'm assuming that the bunks would want to be fairly close to the shoal keel, maybe around 18" or so inbetween. I would like to have them a bit wider, but I'm not sure about the bottom strength of a sailboat.  We will try to get away without the second set of support bunks higher up on the bow. I will attempt to attach a picture of a typical lift showing the straight bunks I will be dealing with.
