Re: bow stop bunk
Dodger...you'll need to know a couple of things before you pull the trigger (redoing mine and had several hiccups in getting proper parts).
The first is your freeboard - the height of your sides of the boat. Your stand needs to be at a height that allows the eye to tuck in under the bow stop. The second thing is the angle on the winch post usually needs to be pretty close to the angle of the front of the boat so you can get the bow to the bow stop. Sometimes an extended eye stop is needed. You'll need a bow stop, too, as they usually are sold separately.
Even after taking the rig to the trailer guys they ordered the wrong post (too short, too much angle)...held me up a week
