[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 450659, member: 21536"] If you have bunk/bolster brackets that work like the one shown below, then adding a 1x4 to the side will result in your edge-wise bunks being off center to the bracket. No matter how much you tighten them, they would be constantly wanting to twist, which would be a real PITA and not good for your boat. In fact, even if perfectly centered using edge-wise bunks with this kind of bracket is probably not a good idea. You can replace the swivel part of the brackets with ones made for vertical bunks, but that would probably cost more than just replacing the whole bracket with the correct style (like in Rich's link).
