Finishing Off Pontoon Trailer... a few details

[Raycaster]

First, want to thank everyone that has helped and made suggestion, very much appreciated!

 

My question is that I have stripped down a tandem boat trailer and ready to place support bars (4) across to hold the bunks.

 

The pontoon boat is a small 16' and was wondering:

 

1) Should the bunk lengths 2X6 be 16'?

 

Planned on 16' but saw some pictures of pontoon boats hanging a foot or so behind the bunk?

The trailer is a 20' tandem trailer but I guess any extra space at the front is nice.

The boat is a relative light one and its a tandem trailer (probably overkill) so weight balance isn't a huge factor.

 

The inner guide bunks will be installed soon also.

The bunks really only need to extend to the front as far as the tube starts to taper.
