So.....I'm thinking I am going to swap out the rollers for bunks this season. The two reason's for me are:
Those of you with bunks what are you using for your bunks? I am thinking pressure treated 2"x6" wrapped in a marine grade carpet. Pretty simple and cheap. I initially though more elaborately about glassing the 2"x6" to make it permanent but in hindsight that is a lot of work for something that is so cheap and easy to change out when it rots.
- Better weight distribution especially important when travailing on gravel roads.
- It will lower my boat on the trailer which will reduce how often I have to dip the tow vehicles wheels in the salt water. (the disadvantage to this is that we currently tow with the outboards all the way down. Lowering the boat will mean I need to raise the main motor and support it for towing.
