There has been some talk around BBC on replacing trailer bunk carpeting with various materials to avoid hull blisters for one thing. What is the best product out there to use when replacing bunk carpeting and/or bunks??
Thanks

Gatorbaks by far
Gatorbaks on my Basscat trailer that holds my Puma. Good stuff.
Do your bunks stand on edge like other allison models? Forget the gatorbacks for that. Do you have blisters? Not much to worry about on an allison if you dont already have them.

I do not have blisters and yes my set of bunks that is supposed to carry the majority of weight are vertical. These are my problems. Why forget the gatorbacks? They have products for the edges of those boards.

I have never seen gatorbacks made for the edge of a board. If they do make them that would be the ticket

I'm looking at getting new bunks before next season. My Sabre FTD has a black boot. Has anyone noticed scuffing or marks using Gatorbaks on a black hull?
Also, the bunks on my Sabre FTD are cut with an age on the back approach edge, and the front of the center bunks are cut down slightly from a full 2x6 size. Are Gatorbaks able to be formed around less than square lumber?

Roller trailer. I know, blaspheme to suggest a roller trailer on a fiberglass bass boat, stress points, etc. But look how many big glass cruisers and sport boats are paired with roller trailers. I had a 27' Chaparral on a roller trailer years ago - zero issues.
Are bass boat lamination schedules just not thick enough to allow a roller trailer option?
troyboy, that really nice. What kind of wood did you use under the gatorbacs?

If you can get your hands on the teflon that they put on the bottom of airboats and counter sink and screw that to your bunks that is the best I ever used. Don't un hook the bow until it's in the water on a steep ramp though!
If you're going to be dumb, you've got to be tough!
