Warped/Curved Trailer Bunk board on trailer

[NewBoater]

Want to reach out to you guys to see if this is normal. I already had to replace one because it split into in the middle. Is bending warping normal like this for trailer bunk boards? Three of them look good now including the one I replaced and one just started looking warped/curved. Does this one need replacing ASAP? Not a big deal?

When the boat is on the trailer does it make contact with the entire bunk? I've seen many of boat trailers that look like that and wouldn't be too concerned, it might flex back straight once the boat is loaded.

Mine is the same way. It seems like that is how the hull is shaped. I believe mine has three attach points per bunk. It does look to be a little more wear on the front of yours.

Is it normal to have only one bolt holding the bunk bracket?

I think by the time I replaced mine the whole bunk was only held on by one or two. The rest had come out of the rotted board. So normal but not correct.

I was looking at the bracket to cross member bolt. Seems weird to only have one bolt, but maybe that’s normal?‍

Whoops...I was thinking lag bolts. Nevermind.

I would check the boards under the carpet. Probably starting to rot. They use "fir" wood and it doesn't last at all. Mine were toast after only 3 seasons
