SO YOU WONDER WHY IT COST SO MUCH TO CHANGE BUNK BOARDS ON YOUR TRAILER

Did my own today to see!!!!!!!! Cost too much to get prebuilt boards sent down here so I got me 4 ea, 2x6x12 treated only needed 3 32.00. Then ripped about 7/8 inch off them then they taper at front down to about 2x4. Had precut carpet kit from parts 75.00 i think and then used pieces for the first layer (bcb has a layer glued to top, then anther layer glued all the way around and stapled on bottom, 1 can carpet glue 38.00 , then 28 each stainless 3/8 lag bolts with flat and lock washers about 85.00 and 6 hours labor to build them, get the boat up and change them.230.00 in materials alone so it is not a cheap project

Thanks for the info Doug. About a month before I brought my boat down to you, I had Scott put on a new set of bunks direct from BCB. First time I ever used store bought. Once I learned BC tapers those boards my decision was made up. Sounds like I made the right choice for once.

Would have been better if I would have had a pattern and pre made boards (like I do now)
