Hi Basketcase,

Mine is a 23, but principles are the same. I originally had my rear bunks set so they were just inboard of the 2nd chine resting on the middle panel. While apparently this is the best structurally, I found it did not center as well. Also, the further out you go, less of the bunk actually contacts the hull unless the bunk has alot of flex. See pic 1

My current setup has the back bunks just outside the most inboard chine, again resting on the 2nd hull panel. I think the structural support is almost as good and the boat always centers itself perfectly. I do have forward bunks that guide the bow into the center of the trailer. See pic 2

The only thing I would do different is change the cross member supporting the front of the forward bunk. Right now it is straight across. I would go for one that has a dip in the center so my bow could rest lower. See pic 3

My rear bunks are beveled and are set on end for strength as they carry most of the weight. The front bunks rest flat against the hull as their primary purpose is to guide the boat on the trailer. The carpet is covered with Teflon where it contacts the hull. This helps launching and retrieving when you can't quite get the boat to float off without a little shove.
