[QUOTE="richg99, post: 416979, member: 4376"] Mine are "floating". I believe that the "floating" type brackets are there to accommodate a V hull that will first contact the bunks with its sharper front bottom....and then....when the hull moves forward, the bunks would have to flatten to accommodate the stern configuration. If your boat is a pure flat bottom, then you should be able to lock them down. Personally, I don't see any advantage to locking them down, unless they are flopping over on you all of the time. richg99 p.s. I added a split PVC gutter topping to my bunks. Love it! Boat slides up and on and off so easily! [/QUOTE]
