Like so slippery they make it harder to trailer?
That was exactly what I was afraid of. Sounds like I will be going back with good old carpet bunks.
I'd like to think my bunks conform to the bottom of the boat and not the other way around but I know nothing of these.
price it out. i believe the material is ASTRONOMICAL compared to wood. not worth it
Yeah I'm sure that stuff is pricey! I prefer wood myself. His argument was that the wood wrougts and then you have to replace them. I kindly replied with, you will have to redo the carpet at some point when that wears out and then you would spend a lot of time trying to remove the old carpet to re-cover those boards with new carpet so what are you really saving
Yeah I wouldn't see the benefit if you were just going to wrap these in carpet. For my boat it would be about $1,000 to do it in composite including new stainless Hardware. Wood would be less than half of that but would need to be redone and 5ish years.
I'm assuming you meant Fir, and not pine.
Absolutely correct, and on top of that you would need to add additional supports. When using this in a deck situation, it needs to be supported every 12 inches to prevent it from sagging compared to 16 or even 24 inches for real wood.
Just high quality Doug for old growth - I bought the CUDA bunk carpet that allows it to breathe so it doesn’t trap water. (First time using it so we will see if it’s worth the extra cash) Think we did dry Doug fir grade 1 from a local lumber yard which will last a lot longer than Home Depot crapwoodYes lol I did mean Fir. Thank you!
Ask @jstnoc what type of wood he had me hunt down for his trailer build
