    Best bunk slide

    I want to fish a trolling motor only lake with my "new to me " RT188 . I'll need to winch the boat on the trailer. What is the best bunk slide for an "old guy" to install for ease of loading. Have used EZ Glide before but wondering what is in the market that may be better.
    Thanks for responding.

    Have you tried spraying the bunks with silicone?

    Fulton F2 winch.
    Mandatory piece of equipment for any shoulders or elbows over 50 years old. The low gear will pull that rig up without breathing hard.

    WisconsinF, I have a Fulton F2, however when I replaced the original winch the Fulton was at the bow to close . Did you modify the winch stand ? I'm welllll beyond 50

    Back trailer in deeper and float the boat on.

    Very true Loweman, that's easier, but marginal ramp situation

    I added PVC gutter downspouts, cut lengthwise, on my 2x4 bunks. There are 2 sizes. Get the 3x4 size.

    I unhook at the top of the ramp, I would fear the boat sliding off with an aide involved, even though I like the idea.
