What's wrong with this picture? Isn't the boat suppose to sit flush with the side bunks? The boat is a 03 4winns H180.

Thoses were not "side bunks" as you called them but guide-ons. They help in lining the boat on the trailer when it's submerged.

Usually, the hull sit over the fenders, not on them, and there's a couple of inches on both sides between the hull and the guides.

It would help if you could post a picture showing the stern.

Either your trailer is too small or your on the trailer crooked.. Something is not right though and im sure thats why you asked.. get us like 4 pics from all angles and we will figure it out..

The boat's not mine. I was looking at it but now changed my mind. I was just kind of curious when I saw the pic. Didn't look right to me but hey, I never owned one. Attach is the only other picture I have that shows the trailer rear.

Looks fine. That is the trailer Four Winns built for that boat.

I like that boat. I don't know that I have ever seen a Four Winns with a Yamaha before.

Looks fine, They may have just pulled it on the trailer a little to one side. No big deal.

yup, don't let that scare you away.

Alot of times if the trailer isn't level on the ramp the boat will load crooked like that, sweet looking boat, worth checking into for sure.

Agree, if the trailer is backed in and one wheel fender is a little higher than the other, that's a clue to pull it out and try to find the spot on the ramp that is level.

As a newbie last year, I learned to find the level spot when launching and remember it when loading. Of course, as a retiree I only boat during the week, so I wasn't holding anyone else up at the time.

No it doesn't look right, the boat looks level but it's hitting the fender, more than likely they lowered the bunks so they could get the boat off easier. It's hard to tell but one good bump and that hull will be needing some glass work.
