Did the trailer come with either three or four bunk board supports each side? Photo would be appreciated as I am working with an owner with issues. Thanks

From the photo here it looks like 4 on each side.
Thank you @twalker H260 snd also in a private message from @caverun for your help. That is what I thought.
There is a new hunter 240 owner who bought his boat used and sailed it twice before noticing major cracks on the hull. He being a power boat owner took his daughter with him to look at the boat without any experience what he is looking at. The trailer had a sticker on it saying Magic Tilt but from his photo of the trailer, it was the wrong one. It had three bunk board supports, wrong wheel fenders and guide on poles, etc.
With regard to cracks in the hull, it was in the area where a major one was below the water ballast tank lid. It also appeared the three stalks or bunk board supports were too far down and the centerboard was jammed on the keel tray not to mention a portion of the hull had collapsed. Finally the axle was bent which he replaced I asked the owner if he had seen this during inspection and was told he was inexperienced but never hit anychuckholes He also questioned why the owner had bought another 240.
I suggested contacting his insurance company as he only paid $12.500 for it as the cost of repairs would exceed what was paid. He is going that route as I told him the cost to repair exceeds what he paid for as he got taken for a ride.

Ouch. That hurts on so many levels.
Wonder if the owner would have any recourse against the previous owner either civilly or criminally?

No. Bought it as is. Insurance adjuster involved and will be probably totaled. He is going to look at a Hunter 260 and will walk him through this time with me by phone
