Looking to replace carpet on bunks
Best replacement compare to carpet?
Can you power load gatorbaks?
Best place to buy?

thanks

You can not power load the GB’s. Will cause scuffing on hull and premature wear of GatorBac’s. RR

I have had no issues with Gatorbacks....

New PT boards, gators, brackets, and replaced inner fenders with king starboard.....quite happy with it all.

This will be my 4th year with Gatorbaks. They are holding up well - no complaints.

Gatorbak here on my z521c 2 years no problem if your ramp is steeper you might need to load in place and ease trailer back then winch it up, flatter ramps must have trailer little more in the water, they load like butter, I ran carriage bolts through every bunk and used nylocks so i wont ever lose a bunk or bolt stainless hardware.

Gatorbaks one full year, no issues. You shouldn't power load, but there are a couple super steep ramps I use where I don't really have a choice. Power loading does cause some material tansfer on the hull and wear on the Gatorbaks. The transfer is easily removed by hand.

Going on a almost 2 years with mine. I have to power load the last 1 foot on a couple ramps or I drown my boat as the stern is lower in the water than my rigging hole in the splash well, so I have rubbed off some of the front end of mine, but so far no damage to the hull, just have to clean off the rubber that is transferred every so often. Great investment though I think.

I have not had an issue with mine, going on year 3 with them. They are holding up well. I see NO scuffing on the boat but I also make sure that I back the bunks in the water all the way first, then pull up to expose just a little of the tops. The water acts as lubrication on the bunks.
