Converting Boat Trailer From Rollers to Bunk Boards
Question:
Hi, I want to convert my shorelander trailer for my 17 foot bay boat from rollers to bunks. I was thinking of using 8 or 10 foot wooden bunks. Can you give me a recommendation on parts/brackets/hardware I should buy? You think 2 bunks is sufficient? or 4? Thanks

Helpful Expert Reply:
For the bunks I recommend using two sets of the 5' CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards # CE27820, or you'd like to get your own wooden boards you can wrap them in Marine-Grade Carpeting # CE11349.
To install the boards, you will need a pair of Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies # CE10001G-4 per board, which are 11", as well as a pair of U-Bolt Kits # CE15283GA-4. I've added links to video reviews of these parts for you to check out as well.
