I purchased a boat and immediately got it in a high and dry storage facility. I've recently had to move out of the storage and picked up a trailer for my boat and it isn't a perfect fit. The trailer has 6 bunks, 2 in the bottom middle, 2 that should support the under side of the boat, and then 2 on the very sides just behind the wheels. Right now my boat is setting on the 2 in the bottom middle, but the next 2 bunks are too low and are not touching the boat. I've called some shops to see how much it would cost to have someone fix this so the boat doesn't wobble back and forth and have been quoted $500-$1000 dollars. The person I purchased the trailer from told me there are brackets you can buy that will allow me to adjust these bunks myself, and I've found some online, but not sure if they're all universal or if I need something specific. Right now I have the boat ratchet strapped tight so it's level on the trailer and there's roughly 3" between the bunks and the boat on both sides. My plan is to pick up the brackets, install them and adjust till they just touch the boat, launch the boat so I can then lift the brackets another 1/4"-1/2" to make things snug. Does this sound right? Am I going about this all wrong? I'm not a mechanic and this is my first boat.
