I replaced my bunks with synthetic, one thing I did not take into account is how slick they are. Be cautious if you use spray or anything to make them slicker. It actually made recovery harder because when I got to the bow stop I had to leave the motor in gear until the bow hook was attached. Not a huge issue if you have someone to hook it, pain in the neck if you’re alone. I ended up installing a Drotto latch and it is much simpler to load and recover alone now.

Just thinkin', it might be that most carpeted bunks that didn't slide well for my family years ago was similar to household carpet, and not anything like today's bunk carpets that are not cotton based, but more synthetic type material. They say the newer stuff dries faster where as cotton based would hold water longer presenting all kinds of problems (Mold, wood rot, etc.). It's a fine line between slick, and too slick. I used to have the habit of backing my empty trailer deep down the ramp to wet the bunks, but I have not done that in years, I just don't need to. However, I do keep my winch tight until the transom is at the water edge during launch, just to be sure!

the bottom of the boat is curved. If you stand the boards up, you won't make full contact on the bottom of the boat. Posible causing dents/damage to the boat. Lay the boards on there side, and craddle the bottom. Add carpet, or other material to protect the bottom.
