Ultimate Bunks

Anyone subject to a memory loss (brain f@*t) better stay away from them. To many boats get dumped backing out of driveways, down boat ramps, pulling out of boat ramps. They are wonderful and work well but OUR mind has bad periods and that's what gives them a bad rap. Kinda like guns, it's the idiot using them not the glides OR the guns. Ferdi aka Fred

I guess I better leave them along then.

I have a roller trailer under my Lund. I also have a Safety chain bolted to the winch stand. I don't unhook anything up front until the boat/ trailer is in the water. When pulling out I just hook the safety chain to the bow eye and come on out. I roll the boat up tight when I am off the ramp and out of the way. Point is, add a safety chain and no worry's mate. Everone needs one anyway, Straps do break etc. Ya'll be careful out there.

Don't think they are a good idea for me either since the ramps around this part of Texas are pretty steep and when I drive on my trailer I have my fishing partner pull me out without hooking the strap to the boat until we get up the ramp a bit. Many times you would have to get in the water to get out of the boat before pulling it out.

Oh yeah and I have been known to have one of them brain thing at times, LOL!

So not for me.

Are these recommended for riveted metal boats? I can't find any info. on their website about that.

First off. You'll only lose it once, then you'll remember. I made my own,with 1 inch plastic boards. Doug

I have been using the same wood bunks with the same carpet since '97 when I bought my outfit. At today's gas prices I think I'll just re-carpet and use that extra money for gas for the boat.


BTW, I have a flat bottom Carolina Skiff. Had I had something different that is hard to load and unload I'd probably be interested.:p
