Bunks support the hull more evenly, no risk of "roller dimples". Rollers require replacement and maintenance, bunks last a long time. Rollers however are better on difficult ramps or launching with no ramp at all. The best is bunks with plastic on top. Boat slides easily. Lots of support. Bill, I think I saw in an earlier post a mention of a special plastic. What was it, and how is it mounted on your bunks? -- John H UHMW. Screwed to the bunks. The new trailer is aluminum bunks, but you can also get slide strips at West Marine. UHMW is available at a good plastics supplier. http://www.midlandplastics.com/srtd_polyolefins.htm They use it in rock trucks to protect the bed and make the rocks slide out easier. OK, that's a help. Now, is it cut into 2" strips and screwed on? How thick are the pieces. I assume the screws are countersunk, so the strips must be 1/2" or thereabouts? I'm trying to picture this, but have never seen it before. Have a picture by any chance? -- John H http://www.roguejet.com/aluminum_trailers.asp will show you a trailer like mine. |
