[QUOTE="handyandy, post: 430664, member: 18942"] For the new bunks I used pressure treated 2x4 that were twelve feet long cut down to the length of the originals which was around 11ft long. I used stainless bolts to afix them to the mounting plates I welded on the trailer. Once I had the bunks bolted down a leveled out well I screwed pieces of the trek decking on top of them that the boat will sit on. This stuff is pretty slick allowing the boat to unload easily a friend of mine with a mud boat did his bunks with I liked enough I decided to use it won't rot and won't hold moisture like carpet does so the wooden bunks should last longer. I bought three 8ft pieces of the 4" wide gray trek it was the cheapest I ripped each piece in half down the middle long ways to make thinner strips that covered the tops of the 2x4 wooden bunks perfectly. I used a table saw to rip them down it cut about the same as wood does just had to go a little slower cutting being it's denser. I screwed down the trek pieces using stainless deck screws. I counter sunk all the screws into the trek so they wouldn't scratch the bottom of the hull. [/QUOTE]
