I recently purchased a 1977 sunfish and 1982 ez loader trailer from a nice guy in western PA where the sunfish had sat in his barn for the past 12+ years. The boat is in great shape and has cleaned up nicely. The story is the trailer was originally for a larger sailboat that got a new trailer and I suspect these bunks were put on later.
This trailer's bunks don't appear to match the advice I've seen in the sunfish forum. I looked in the Sunfish Bible and Sunfish Owners Guide for recommendations and ideas but am still not sure about how to configure the bunks. I intend to remove the mast support unless there's a way to reuse it for the sunfish.
Would you look at the attached pictures and let me know how you would configure the bunks for this trailer and what you'd use for mounting etc? I'm trying to keep it simple but also make it "right".
Here's pictures of the trailer
Trailer measurements
3 bunk configuration options.
Optiion A - support at bow, hinged bunks at mast and bunks along about 7' of aft chine
Option B - support at bow, hinged bunks at mast and cockpit plus 3' bunks along aft chine.
Option C - support at bow, hinged bunks at mast, forward cockpit, aft cockpit and stern.
Option D - ???? what would you do ????
