Post by: Woodeneye on October 24, 2017, 05:15:13 PM: 6 feet minimum. Most of the weight is taken on the boats keel on the centre spindle rollers of the trailer anyways when the boat is loaded. Mine has bow bunks as well but its probably overkill IMHO.

Post by: chris0614 on October 28, 2017, 12:45:26 PM: I just added some pics to my gallery of the bunk trailer for my 1970 222. It isn't pretty but the boat sits really well on this setup. I don't know much about trailers but this has 2 sets of smaller staggered bunks instead of 2 long bunks. The bunks are about 3 1/2" x 6" x 60". The rear bunks are spaced 56" apart, they overhang the back of the trailer frame by about 10". Front bunks are about 72" wide.
