May need to replace my trailer bunk boards and wondering if anyone has recommendations for the synthetic boards, rather than wood. Thanks, |

I had relatively newer bunks, but the carpet was starting to tear. A poster on here used a PVC gutter, ripped in half over his carpeted bunks. Seemed like a low cost alternative, so I gave it a shot. They’ve held up great, been on my trailer for around three years I think. I screwed them in in 5 minutes after coming back to the launch. I used SS fasteners on the sides, not top of bunks.

I got some true 2x6 cypress boards and put gatorglide on them. Been great since 2012 Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk |

I used solid PVC 1x trim boards glued and screwed (recessed) to my treated 2x4's. Topped with plastic bunk covers. I was getting discoloration on my hull at the seams in the plastic bunk covers |

I say just regular ole pressure treated boards with a good coat of gator glide on on them. As stated, plain treated = no bueno, but don't think anyone has had any issues when you put a solid coat of gator glide on it. Just be careful cause you can push the boat off with a feather. Make sure you keep it connected till over the water. Simple and cheap solution. |

I’ve always used treated boards with carpet and I maintain it. Haven’t had a problem for the past 15 years |

PVC boards from Lowe’s. They don’t sell 1/4 or 1/2” anymore but I see they have 3/4 still... no need in counter sinking, you can screw them straight to your bunks and soft enough for screw to sink in enough to where it won’t scratch your boat Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |
