[QUOTE="Tin Man, post: 450620, member: 7021"] Hello all-- I'm back in the tinny world! I was going to purchase a 20'-22" Pontoon boat and decided that a small alum boat was more practical, economical, and a fun project. I believe the smaller the boat the more prone we are to use it! I have a great lake in my city that has great LMB and Striper fishing. Excited about using my new boat out there and slaying some fish! Also excited about the many projects I can apply to my boat....many of which I have seen here on this board!! Picked up a 2009 Bayrunner 15 last week! Excited about the simplistic approach to fishing/boating and the projects that can be accomplished on a small alum boat. Trailer set up question.... My Bayrunner has strakes on bottom of hull that are spaced at 2.5" apart. This space does not allow for a carpeted 2"x4" to fit between them. On a previous alum boat, the owners manual stated not to place bunks boards under strakes; ensure they were between them. On that particular boat the strakes had more distance between them, allowing for 2x4 placement between them. I'm assuming the same applies here. So, what options do I have? Rip 2x4 down to a 2X2? Use 2x4 on its ends (would require a different mounting bracket)? Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
