I have observed a number of the smaller MacGregor/Ventures (17, 21, 22, & 24) where the hull conforms to the trailer bunk (hull slightly dented in where it sits on the bunk). Typically, there are no stress cracks. However, given the age of these boats and the length of time they have sit like that, how bad is that for the hull? I assume this could be fixed by glassing in some stringers in the specific area of concern.Note, in the picture attached, there was no evidence of overloading the boat at the point where the hull had deformed over the trailer bunk. (No heavy gear in the locker or at the rear of the boat. Motor was always removed for trailering.)With the advent of the 26 (all models) MacGregor chose to run the bunks athwart ship as opposed to the traditional bunks that parallel the length of the trailer. Has anyone bought an aftermarket trailer with longitudinal bunks? If so how well is the load distrubuted with and without water ballast.Thanks for your input/comments.Steve <>< _/)
