    Good on you for getting the issue resolved. Did you end up removing the shims from under the front mounts for the bunks? Also I believe you mentioned
    that you were using a 3 inch drop hitch. I recommended you try a hitch with more drop and now somebody else has also recommended it. You would
    be surprised at what an additional inch of drop can do for you. Try to find somebody you can borrow a 4inch drop from and try it out?

    I did remove the shims and also got a 4” drop hitch. I think all the suggestions were spot on and helpful.

    Bet it feels like you’ve got a new boat now...
