Availability of 9-1/2 Foot Carpeted Bunk Boards for Boat Trailer

Question:

I have a 1990 Skeeter and trailer. My bunk boards need to be replaced but they are 9 and a half feet long. Your boards are maximum of 6 ft. What do I do? Thanks

No worries, you can easily construct some bunks yourself.

Go to your local lumberyard and get some treated yellow pine 2x4x10 boards. You can then purchase some of the marine-grade carpet we offer, like part # CE11372. You'll need one roll per bunk, which means you'll have some scrap left over, but if you're anything like me you'll find a use for the scrap.

You can use carpet adhesive to attach the carpet to the bunks, but two years ago when I re-did the bunks on my PWC trailer I used a staple gun, and the bunks are holding up just fine.
