Idk where to post this but I drove a long way today looking for some plastic bunk covers and all I found was this bullshit for $64 that only does 16 feet of bunk. So I got the boat sitting on buckets in the yard and went to Home Depot looking for a cheap solution.... I found it. 4" pvc down spouts for gutters Bought 2 for $12 each and split them with a sawzall. Had just a little more than enough left over. They fit right over the bunks with the carpet left on them. Then I secured them with some stainless screws. Doesn't look terrible but it doesn't look great either and it was a total cost of about $26 No more electrolysis, and hopefully no more boat freezing to the trailer. I will update this tomorrow after I get the boat winched back up on the trailer and see how it slides around. Oh and here's an 1860 godevil sitting on 5 gallon buckets in my front yard just for laughs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

When I was doing some thread searching on Google a while back, I remember west end angler mentioning this alternative. I've got some torn carpet I've been ignoring, might just tack some of these on real quick. |

An even cheaper alternative is just painting the treated wood with a few coats of oil base paint. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using Tapatalk |

Cool but for new trailers its easy. A quart of paint and a cheap disposable brush is another easy alrernative. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using Tapatalk |

Backed the trailer up under the rake and winched right on with one hand. Not bad for $26 and 15 mins of work. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Carpet and plastic bunk covers hold water causing the bunks to prematurely rot out. Painting the wood is a better way to go. Painting them with GatorGlide is well... brilliant! |

Just painted my new bunks with some leftover gator glide. Managed to spill about an eighth of a gallon in the bed of my truck prior to the application as I was mixing on the tailgate. That one is gonna haunt me for years to come, one ass busting after another.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

It has a spray-in liner so there's still a little grip, but not as much as there used to be Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Just did this to mine. Pre cut every thing then screwed them on the bunks in the parking lot at the landing. Nice snug fit and was quick. I wanted keep torn carpet from making contact with the hull. |

Bunks were pretty new, just ended tearing the carpet. Next time I redo them, They'll have gator glide. |
