Hello All,
anyone keeping a 189 on a lift that can provide the proper spacing on center for the support bunks?
Happy Thanksgiving

    Measure your trailer. Remember that that you want widest part of the bunk to rest against the bottom.  Happy Thanksgiving!

    Ok, 
    thankyou. The bunks are parallel, equal distance between them front and rear. No need for any concern to align with the stringers?

    I’ll make sure the bow will clear the crossbeam... this may have been set up for a pontoon boat

    The strakes on the boat are 32" apart. I''d make sure that those bunk have that space between them. The one thing you have to be concerned with is the bow may rest on the Aluminum cross member. I'd install a pressure treated 2x4  with a piece of outdoor carpet on the cross member where the bow will be. 

    As far as the stringer grid... look at the mark on the deck in front of the console (no non skid) That is the inside of the grid it goes straight back even with the console. If you look at your batteries, the top where the clear Lexan battery cover sits is the top of the grid.
