The cutout is really just where the wood of the bunk has been shaved down . The carpet covers this so it doesn't look that different. If you run your fingers along the top of the inner starboard bunk you can feel where the wood dips down. Before I repositioned my boat on the bunks I took a piece of photo paper (any stiff paper would do) and slid it between the bunk and the boat until it hit where the inlet protrudes thru the hull. In my case I could then see that the boat needed to go back a couple of inches so that the inlet was situated over the bunk "cutout". From there it was just a matter of pulling the boat back with a tractor.
The stern of the boat should be just about dead even with the inner bunks. In my case it made a bit of a reduction with the tongue weigth as well .
