I trailer my boat every weekend, sometimes after I'm loaded on the trailer and up the ramp I notice that the boat ia about
1" short of having the entire hull on the bunks. I have heard that a hook can develope in the hull, but how long would it have to sit on a trailer like this before that would happen. Thanks

An inch isn't bad. Ideally, you want all of the transom on the trailer bunks. However, the transom is just over 2" thick, so some of the transom is on the bunks. This should be enough to take the load of the transom and not develop a hook.

Its surprising how much they move on wet bunks. My 24 usually would usually line up right at the end of the bunks and by the time I got home it would be about an inch forward. My cousins 38 does the same thing and it weights twice as much. All the more reason why straps are so important.
