Has anyone replaced the trailer boards I’m just curious on best type of 2×4 to use
Not positive about your year and model but I believe most are not really 2 X 4’s but 2 X 6’s that have to be trimmed to fit just right. I’m sure someone has done it themselves and will be able to explain.
Those are 2×6 treated wood with a trim of 5/8″ off one side, then carpeted double on top, the second layer of carpet wraps the board. The front end is tapered about 20″ long with an additional 5/8 to zero for cosmetics on the trailer. The back end has a 45 degree chamfer across 3/4″ deep to reduce wear on the red corner. That should explain how, now the carpet is your decision though we do sell that.
Bass Cats reply is right on, and you will also need stainless staples and a gallon of DAP Wellwood contact cement, ( I like the gel formula) Also be sure to save a piece of carpet off one end so you have a pattern for the end cuts.
It’s a 99 jag and the 2 center boards bow out and I think thats why it doesn’t like to push on trailer very good…I bought the boat a year ago with 117 hours so I’m sure it sit on the trailer alot to get the boards to bow that bad
Replacing my bunks at this very moment. Took a break for my fingers to get feeling back while rolling the carpet tight on the boards.

2ea. 2x6x8. Treated. These boards are cut shorter to a little over 6 feet.

New Basscat 24oz carpet ordered online.
Electric stapler is the way to go.
New Lag bolts.
1998 Jag.
Basscat sells them for 200 I seen how much are you saving if you don’t mind me asking
I spent a total of 100.00.
The boards will be bowed when installed properly, I used a ratchet strap to pull them into the correct position before installing the lag screws. I used the old boards as patterns for the new ones and pre-drilled all the screw holes.
TTT for inquiry and move
