Replacement Bunk Boards for Trailer with 5 Foot 4 Inch Long Existing Bunk Boards

Question:

Hi there, I am interested in new carpeted bunks for my drift boat trailer. My current bunks are 64 inches long, five feet four inches. I see yours are sold in even “feet”. This means they would either be a little short on the sides, or long. Do you have a recommendation for me? Thanks!

As long as you've got the room, you can use bunk board that's a bit longer like the CE Smith 6ft Long Bunk Board # CE27840 or shorter like the CE Smith 5ft Long Bunk Board # CE27820. If you wanted a bunk board that is exactly 5'4" long you could source your 2x4 locally, cut it to your desired size and then use the CE Smith Deluxe Marine-Grade Carpeting for Bunk Boards - Black - 18' Long x 18" Wide # CE11349 to cover the boards you purchased. This comes in a roll that is 18ft long, so it's more than enough to cover 2 bunk boards that are under 6ft.
