I'm changing the bunks on a used trailer I bought and need some
advice. The bunks are adjustable and I have measured the position on
my old trailer and have all the supports close. The only question is:

What's the best method to curve the bunks to fit the hull? The bunks
curve up in front and that is not too hard but they also curve inward
toward the center. The bunks are very stiff in that direction.

I'm using 2x6 wet fir ( not kiln dried)

Do I get the wood wet? Use a chain to pull them into position?
Something else?

I'd like to get the shape pretty close before I try loading the boat.

How long are the bunks? They should only be about five to six feet, or
so, on an 18' boat. The hull should be pretty flat and even in that
area. Just make sure the angle is right.

Also make sure they support the transom. I've seen boats with the bunks
mounted a full foot ahead of the transom. They should be flush.
