Hello everyone,
I have a 1983 , 16/52 Monark jon boat. It’s time for new bunks and I’d like to change. I’ve been messing with it since I got it a year ago to load and unload easier. It’s currently sitting on 4 , 2x6 board’s with carpet and slick strips. The boards are edge ways and even with the boards all the way down the boat never touches the big rollers in the middle. I’ve looked at laying the boards flat but they won’t fit between the chines. I’m wanting to replace with 2x4 boards. They will fit the brackets. And should have it sitting just about right on the trailer. I just don’t know if they’ll hold up. The boat with motor and all the gear is a little over 700 lbs.
Does anyone else have a boat close to mine sitting on 2x4s?
I’m also putting a cross bunk under the bow for support.
