For the price of the paint the resin and 2x4 you could have spent just a little more a used 1x3” channel iron, that’s the way my ‘Tricker Trailer’ came. Also if you leave the bunk bracket bolts a little loose the bunks will align themselves and you can tighten them with the boat on the trailer. Those teflon or nylon (that’s what I call them what ever they’re made of) strips are the only way to go, mine run the whole length. I’ve lucky to have access to scrap from a saw mill and years ago salvaged 2 and 3 foot and longer pieces of it that I have used on a few trailers. It also handy for shimming things like pole holders or bow anchor systems.
No way I'd use spruce lumber for bunk boards. Even after painting them water is going to soak up like crazy around all the bolts n screws. You should have used pressure treated lumber
They’re working great and will last a very long time. The great thing about a diy is you can do it however you like and I can do it however I like. Thanks for watching!
@@GooberTimeGuideService I am going to use this for my 1542 Al weld boat and trailer set up, thanks again for the idea, and it looks as those things would last forever,
@@ToolTimewithTerry you’re going to like it. Finished filming tonight, editing tomorrow. It’ll be out Friday morning :) This version is much easier and came out super clean
Outstanding job! I did a similar job in 2017 to my Tracker Panfish 16. But used treated wood and sili- glides from Amazon. Drys fast and still no sign of aging.
@@oldschooldiy3240 actually it’s not recommended you use pressure treated lumber on an aluminum boat it can do damage.. pressure treated + aluminum = not good

Top notch DIY instruction. Subscribed!!
Welcome! Appreciate the kind words
You could pull the boat on the trailer with the bunks loose and then tighten them to set the angle
Sure could
Great job! I would like to add my two cents as a woodworker. Make sure wood is dry about 9% on exterior and its core to minimize rotting.
Right on! Thanks for watching
Great video Dan
Thanks! Appreciate you checking it out
Thats on my to do list..Great looking job. I would use it pressure treated though.
Thanks for watching! Good luck with your project

Thanks for watching!
Thanks! Never knew there was an alternative!
Thanks for watching. Since this video is so popular, I have another version in mind I’ll record soon
looks great. i might try that.
Thank you! Is working great. I have version 2 in production now so stick around and wait for that video to drop
Awesome video!! 👏🏻
💪 😎
Thanks for watching! Version 2.0 is already in the works

Just put your brushes in alcohol and you can reuse them
@@fierceflyer5 good tip but at $1.50 a brush I’ll just use a new one.
I like it, better than carpet and looks like it wouldn’t have near as much grab to the hull
You’re right. Those bunk sliders are great. I love this setup but I’m already working on version 2.0 for my other boat. Stay tuned!

@@clayton203 wait until version 2.0. It’s even better!
@@GooberTimeGuideService cool, can’t wait to see it
Nice upgrade!
Thank you. They work great but version 2.0 is already in the works got the other boat
@@GooberTimeGuideService looking forward to seeing it
@@GooberTimeGuideServiceokay Goob put it out man, my trailer is screaming for a makeover 😂

Are those slides ok for fiberglass boats? Enjoyed your video.
I believe so!
You could crawl underneath and loosen that board that’s a bit out of alignment. The weight of the boat should pop it right into place.
Just fixed it the next time I launched and she’s golden now.
Ok do mine next
Deal
? 1. Will this work for fiberglass boats.
? 2. Did you use pressure treated lumber or just dry pine 2x4s
Should work fine for fiberglass but I’m sure the product specifies if you check the link in the description. I did not use pressure treated
Pretty cool
Thanks for watching. They’re working great so far
resin will not stick to plastic place Fiberglass Resin boards on plastic for no stick
Nowhere am I expecting fiberglass resin to stick to plastic. Thanks for watching
FG resin should not be in sunlight just paint on top of it..
You’re going to love version 2.0. Stay tuned. Thanks for watching
So basically you just tried to seal up the same old wood bunk boards. I thought you were going to use something different and better.
Brand new wood and they’re working great a few months into use on a guide boat. Thanks for watching!
Where does one get the kit for the 2x4
If you check the description of the video I included links to pretty much everything you see in the video. Thanks for watching!
I went back and watched it thank though it looks great
@@donaldmerseal1713 excellent. If you try it, let me know what you think

I stopped watching @ 1:50, pressure treated lumber would be so much better....
Thanks for watching!
