[QUOTE="richg99, post: 407227, member: 4376"] For as long as I can remember, I have added some sort of plastic strips onto my bunks. Even when I had fiberglass boats, I felt that the ease of launching, and, more importantly, recovery with slippery bunks was a great asset. In the past, I used PVC boards from Lowes/Home Depot and earlier, PVC lattice cut into strips and also once used just the diagonal pattern. Each of these installations called for countersinking stainless steel screws. While looking for PVC post covers, as suggested on this site, I stumbled on ten foot 3x4 PVC gutter downspouts at Lowes/Home Depot. Less than $12.00 each, and only ONE required, I was very happy, This morning I dropped my boat into a nearby slip. I then had full access to the trailer. The PVC gutters, having been cut in half longitudinally, fit right on top of my carpeted bunks. I added ten screws from the sides....with no countersinking required. When it came time to recover the boat, she slid right up the new shiny PVC ramps with ease. regards, richg99 [/QUOTE]
