Hi All, just buying a 1995 Grady White Islander 268. It did not come with a trailer so I purchased a Venture VATB8025. Any input on the spacing between the bunks and winch height?

I have a 2002 Islander 270 and a Venture trailer. My bunk spacing is 46" outside to outside on the rear (stern) and 42" in the front. In other words, they are not parallel. The center of the winch is 31' above the tongue.

Since Islanders have a eurotransom, it seems that a lot of weight out the stern will not supported by the bunks? See attached sketch.

The 2002 has a full running surface. No Euro transom
I called Grady for some measurements on my boat for a trailer. They sent me a dock with their exact recommendations for my year and model. Took about 5 min to recover it via email. They were VERY helpful
