If you were in SE Michigan, I'd split a sheet of that Menards HPDE with ya!

I got 2 sets of bunk rollers for each side. just screwed them to the tops of my wooden bunks. they work great on my 21' cruiser. just have to put the bow line around the winch pose when unloading. because the boat will roll of the trailer on its own. they sell 4' 5' and 8' at amazon.com

Thanks Marty, if I were closer I might split the cost of a full sheet with you.

I have a Trailmaster trailer and needed to replace the bunk carpet a few years ago. I called them and inquired what they used versus carpet. It was the Caliber bunk wrap product (link below). I ordered the wrap pre-cut for my bunks and installed it, pretty easy. No noticeable markings on my Lund ProV hull.

When my current boat's bunks need replacing, I'll get them again.

Were they the original or the supreme which have the aluminium channel?

I have a Lund 1600 Fury and F40 Yamaha (750 pounds boat/motor) on order and am trying to decide which of the 2 versions to get.

I had the original. The Supreme didn't exist. The Baron was a big boat and I would go with supreme now.
