Just bought a 05 sv2100 with a 150 Yamaha out of a slip, I bought a used tandem trailer with breaks and bunks. but currious if any one can point me in the direction of where I might find out how far my bunks should be apart from each other / placement of the bunks.

Take it to marina with forklift. Bring your electric impact gun and sockets for the uclamps. Have everything loose in approximate position. Buy lunch or half hour time from the lift operator. Makes getting it right the first time ez. Will get a measure on mine but think the hull changed, at least there were changes in the deck between my year and the 2005.

I have the same hull but may not have the same bunks. What type bunks and how wide is the trailer between the fenders?  |

Here's my new sled by the way, picked her up for 10k and trailer for $675. Pretty exited about her. She has around 400 hours on the packages.  |

Congrats on boat. Looks nice.
Don’t be afraid to buy new U bolts, washers, nuts, etc. Just cut the old off carefully with a grinder and save yourself a lot of aggravation. Speed up job.

Great price on both the boat and trailer! You'll probably make a nice profit if and when you decide to sell her. I'll make two suggestions:
1. Remove the trailer breaks. Even if they're new and you hose it down after each use, they probably won't last a year near saltwater.
You won't need them any way if your tow vehicle can handle the load.
2. And most importantly: Google Yamaha balancer assembly problem. Then if your F150 hasn't already had the balancer upgrade, spend $400 and have it done before it's too late.

Does the trailer bunks look like they fit the hull of the boat? Should I move them?

The gears in the balancer assembly in the 04-07 Yamaha F150s are made of a composite material and will eventually fail, especially if there's a strain placed on the prop (like hitting a muddy bottom). Some fail with very few hours. Mine was an 04 and failed at just over 400 hrs without any prior warning. When it fails, the composite gears disintegrate and block the oil pump screen and passages in the engine's block (among other places) resulting in no or low oil pressure. If run with no oil pressure, it probably won't be worth repairing even if you were able to clean all the trash from the block. Yamaha realized the defect and made several upgrades to the balancer assembly. The latest upgrade runs around $300 to $400 depending on where you buy it and the new version has an oiler in it that keeps the gears lubricated. Some F150s will have a whining sound prior to the balancer assembly failing but some (like mine) will give no warning.
Hard to say if the trailer bunks are properly spaced. Depends on several things: How high you want the boat to sit on the trailer and how much space you have between fenders. Based on the picture, the trailer appears a bit shorter and the bunks appear to be closer to the center than mine are and the closer to center, the higher your boat will sit when on the trailer. My boat extends about an inch over and about two inches above my fenders. If your trailer is wide enough, you may want the boat sitting inside the fenders
The center of my bunks are 9" inside of the frame and extend 35" out the rear from the last support brace but My trailer has 5 support braces with flat bunks on the forward two supports. Have you measured from the front roller to the end of the bunks to be sure the trailer will hold a 22' boat?
I can't tell from the picture...does the trailer have leaf springs or torsion axles?

It has springs, what’s he distance on your trailer from eye to bunk end? And the width? I moved the support bunks as close as I could to the fenders, about 12”. the spacing I have from roller to end of the bunks is 19.5 but I can move it up about a foot if needed. Now that I pull the tape out I’m concerned it’s not wide enough, it’s only 8' from outside the fenders to out side the fenders,

My boat is on the trailer so I can't measure the width and length now... I hope to be launching it this Wednesday, so can get accurate measurements then. I can tell you that when the bow eye is on the roller, the bunks are almost flush with the transom and there is 9" from the inside of the trailer's i-beam (not the fenders) to the center of the bunks. I think your trailer's width is right. The 04's and up have an 8ft beam but that doesn't mean your trailer isn't wide enough and 8 ft sounds about right since the maximum width allowed by law is only 8 ft 6".  |

Shouldn't this thread be moved to the trailer and tow rig section? Measure the width of the first chine on your hull put the trailer bunks just on the outside of this . Put boat on trailer at ramp. Pull out taking notice on how it sits. If not to your liking refloat, adjust bunks and put the boat on trailer. Wider out you go with the bunks, lower the boat will sit on trailer. (Don't go too wide or on steep ramps your keel by the bow can hit the trailer cross members while driving the boat on trailer. I learned this in a misguided attempt at lowering the center of gravity of the boat on the trailer...) Pull out and see if you like how it sits on trailer. Repeat if needed. This is why I like going to boatyard mid morning when the forklift guy has a little time . Lot faster and if you need any hardware it is available there or nearby. STOP This trailer was not set up for your boat right? You need to start from scratch as there is a lot more then bunk width to get right. Google to the rescue! www.wordboats.com/how-to-fit-your-boat-to-a-new-trailer?rt=1&ri=14965405 |

Well I got her on and home no problems, I do need to add some guide bunks for personal comfort.
