I recommend the V-Wing Bolster Bracket for Pontoon Boat Trailers # CE26265G40. They are galvanized and allow for 4" wide bunk boards. These are sold individually so be sure to order enough for your application.

I also recommend the Bunk Style Guide-Ons for Pontoon Boat Trailers # CE27671 to make centering your pontoon on the trailer easier while loading. Hardware is included for trailer frames up to 3" wide x 4-1/4" tall.

We also have Marine Grade Carpeting for Bunk Boards # FCR8008. Each piece is 12' long and 8" width for your bunk boards.
