Flats hulls can need careful bunk placement. Do not force a deep-V setup.
Hull support is not one-size-fits-all
Bunks, rollers, and geometry must match how your hull sits and launches. Forcing a generic setup can concentrate pressure, scrape gelcoat, or make solo loading miserable.
- Confirm contact points with the boat aboard (or carefully simulated)
- Think about ramp angle and winch line
- Odd hulls may need a custom support conversation
