What do you guys think about replacing trailer bunks with one of the
composite wood or plastic decking materials -- Trex for example --
topped with Bunkaps? Seems like that kind of combo would last forever.
Any thoughts or suggestions about using fake wood for this application
? ? ?


Not a good design. The new trailers for river jetboats are using metal
bunks topped with UHMB plastic. The Trex as little stuctural strength. You
need to do 16" centers on a deck, as opposed to 24" with wood. Is very
flexible. Put it over a 2x6 and would probably be great, except for the
thickness.
