    Bunk wrap

    Any of you guys have bunk wrap over your trailer bunk boards?

    I'm thinking about going with the light gray for my trailer.

    Here's a link just for reference - https://www.amazon.com/Caliber-23052.../dp/B01A8NKT0Y

    A lot of debates the last few years over carpet vs this type of bunk covers.
    Best I recall -- Bass Cat started using one type of these non carpet covers but went back to carpet.

    I "think" I read that Bass Cat was using gatorbak but it may have been something different.

    I'm thinking about using it on my two inner boards only, the boards that are wide side up.

    Joe, Bass Cat tried a couple of different ones. Mine Cat came with the pillow block type. Stay with carpet IMO.

    I would not try to load with them dry, I would always get it wet first

    Other than that, I dont see a problem personally? Maybe Lee will chime in?

    I've been skeptical but I will say that you see similar products used a lot in the saltwater boating world. It's very common to see bunk slicks, wraps, etc. used because a lot of those larger boats are not as easy to load and unload as a small bass boat. Sport Trail is a custom trailer manufacturer that builds for a lot of saltwater boats and they use a similar product on many of their trailers.

    If you get bored there are several older discussions on this topic in the General Bass boat section.. Some get a little heated.

    Well, I caved in and just re-carpeted my bunks instead of taking the chance on the newer style products.
