Where should the boat rest on the bunks?

I just got a trailer and currently the bunks line up right under the fins on the bottom of the boat. I have a feeling that this is not quite right, so I am curious, should they rest outside (red) or inside (blue)?

By the looks of you bottom, it ain't gonna matter a whole hecka lot.
Although, I would mount the bunks so there were just barely inside your outer chines (blue area).

I second the inside as well.
It will also help in keeping boat straight on the trailer if you adjust the bunks to run just inside the strake in the hull.
