The main bunks on our trailer go from the back of the boat up past the axles by about 4 feet or so.Hard to tell with your pics, but the main bunks look short. At least compared to mine.

Mine is 32' LOA, but officially a 29'. Definitely try to post up a better pic. Angles can do funny things to perspective.The main bunks on our trailer go from the back of the boat up past the axles by about 4 feet or so.
I saw in your photo some bow supports down by the keel that I need to figure out how to do. How long is your boat?
All said I think this confirms what we suspected before. The trailer is more than capable for your boat and seems to be in fine condition. The bunks and supports need work, but that's considerably less money.
The starboard bunk is either bent or possibly even the timber inside the carpet has rotted. They are usually treated lumber but never know.
Start with contacting SeaRay and ask for a "blocking diagram" for the hull or a trailer diagram if they have one. It will show where the boat strong points are. Look for the sling lift points. Half way between the two slings should be the center of mass. You want that point just a little forward of the middle axle (to put about 1,500lb on the hitch)
At 11' 5" beam and 13,000 lb I would start reworking to something like this. The outer bunks are directly over the trailer main beams. That's only about six feet apart (the trailer is 8, to the outside of the fenders) The angle should match the dead rise at the stern specs say 17 degrees.
