Hi Rob,
When I looked at that photo - I actually went out 
and looked at our trailer. On our trailer and I 
think on most of the R22 trailers I've seen, 
there is no middle support - each bunk is 
supported only by a support close to each end and 
the bunk conforms to the hull from the weight of 
the boat. I suspect that the middle support was 
added later and that is what is deforming the hull.

Besst,
Mary Lou
