Trailer Bunk Boards

[GeoFisher]

Forget the carpet. Get bunk slides. Once you do it, you’ll never go back.

Bunk Slides are awesome..........if you don't fish in the winter . Big no no in icy conditions. I personally like my boat freezing a little to the bunks when I pull it out.....that way, when I put it in the next day, it definitely is not slipping off the trailer onto the ramp.

Yea, I've seen that happen a few times.......actually, QUITE a few times.

Later,

Geo

I duck hunt so I can’t have boats frozen to the trailer, bunk slides are made for icy conditions.. If you lock your winch and crank it down, not a problem. The ease of cranking the boat up is a plus as well.

Thanks to all, very helpful food for thought.

Oh, trust me , I get that.............My boat is aluminum so it usually stays put, but I've seen some really purty glass boats on the ramp........hurts to watch sometimes ...

Fir, Douglas 7,230 12,400
Pine, Ponderosa. 5,320. 9,400
Pine, White 4,800 8,600
Pine, Yellow. 8,470 14,500

The first number is comprehension strength (psi) and second is bending strength. Yellow Pine wins as best choice for bunk boards. Hubbard’s Building Supply in Russel Springs and selected 84 Lumber yards carry it treated to keep bugs out. Yellow pine is strong 💪 Both places above carry #1 grade. Stand clear #2.

I had my pontoon 16 years sitting on carpeted treated lumber bunks and no aluminum pontoon discoloration or pitting occurred. No aluminum reaction

My boat loads with out much sliding
Don’t trailer more than 30 miles in 12 months hoping no carpet lets my wood dry an breath more sitting out with no
Boat on for 9 months

Bare boards aren’t for most

Some boats allow a little deeper back ins. Every watch somebody cranking there arm off? Most boats I load top of wheel fender a inch or so showing works. I know they are all different but design you shouldn’t have to be on steroids
Trailer info try it sometime
Go a little deeper
