what wood to use for boat trailer bumpers

530RL

What say the masses?

Pressure treated?

They are just 2x4'southward as it is a 21 foot mod-vp with 4 full bunks.

RiverDave

I'yard surprised there are 4 bunks on the modernistic vp instead of two in the tunnels.. I would practise pressure treated.

Pressure treated is what I usually run into used, but was wondering myself nearly stuff like Trex.

Wombat

Pressure treated for sure.:thumbup:

RCDave

Trex is not strong enough for the length of most bunks.

If you have apartment bunks (not ones that need to taper the curve of the bottom of a hull, I'd utilize Fe Wood. Its a hardwood from the tropics so its very resistant to water damage. I used it on the rear bunks of my prior 25 Shockwave Tremor.

Otherwise, merely Dougfir with multiple coats of thompsons water seal.

Treated becomes besides brittle over time and volition tend to splinter

I employ ruby forest on all my bunk replacements.

Stainless

I use red forest on all my bunk replacements.

I similar this if your supports aren't too far apart.

The pressure treated you purchase at a lumber thou or Home Depot is normally "utility" grade or "standard" form. They are rated for sitting flat on concrete and not for carrying weight or spanning a distance. They will also have more than wane and knots. Employ a number 1 class 2 10 and treat information technology yourself.

530RL

Four bunks 12 anxiety long, two bunks per tunnel.

Four supports per bunk, not equally spaced.

Here yous go Dave, fifty-fifty your youngest child could steer a sleek mod-vp on a trailer. Every bit long every bit it is moving frontward, it places itself just perfect.

The force per unit area treated y'all buy at a lumber yard or Home Depot is ordinarily "utility" grade or "standard" grade. They are rated for sitting flat on physical and not for carrying weight or spanning a distance. They will as well have more wane and knots. Utilize a number 1 class two x and treat it yourself.

Adept advice. Off to Heldt Lumber I become tomorrow equally opposed to Home Depot.

BUDMAN

Practiced question. I was wondering this myself as I demand to re-do mine soon.

BoatCop

One annotation for whatsoever pontoon owners who may be reading this thread.

DO NOT use pressure treated woods for pontoon, or any other aluminum, boats.

The minerals used in pressure treating, such as copper chromate compounds, will leach through the carpet, react with the aluminum and crusade electrolysis in the toon/hull. This tin can cause pitting and corrosion and ruin the pontoons or aluminum hull.

Did mine terminal weekend. Used pressure treated 2x6 and 2x4. Stainless railroad vehicle bolts thru bolted and double nuts, stainless staples on the carpeting.

Nice choice, Heldt is legit. I got to get over in that location myself and social club some crown molding.

You use your boat? :headscratch: Lol

If I didn't take to work so hard to pay my accounting bills, I would have more time to boat.

I kid, I kid.

Off-white point, I practise not apply is enough. Information technology is like a Schiada merely with 4 wheels and is much slower.

I work as well much. Bad upbringing past my parents.

See you and the boss at the enduro in Oct?

Squeamish pick, Heldt is legit. I got to get over there myself and guild some crown molding.

I have known Frank since I was a little kid so that proves I am sometime. Nothing simply Heldt lumber in the house.

They are legit. Good people.

DaytonaBabe

If I didn't take to work so hard to pay my accounting bills, I would have more fourth dimension to boat.
I kid, I child.

Off-white signal, not much. I work too much. Bad upbringing by my parents.

Meet you and the boss at the enduro in October?

I was too wondering same thing. Where are you guys getting the bunk rug at. I'yard going to need enough for ii 2x4x13 and two 2x4x8. Havnt been able to find whatever for the thirteen' I need.

brad22

Did mine last weekend. Used pressure treated 2x6 and 2x4. Stainless carriage bolts thru bolted and double nuts, stainless staples on the carpeting.

X2 simply we use zinc plated hardware. Carriage bolts may take longer to practice but way worth it. As far as the pressure treated wood it varies from store to store. I've found lowes to have the best but yet have to sort through the stack to discover the pieces with no split ends and least amount of knots.

Damn money to burn [emoji3]

Don't nosotros take the same ski bet as Dave and 460? Should I invite a doctor with a prescription pad to ride in the gunkhole?

Haha! Getting Mr.Bossypants to approve any trip in early on Oct is about as piece of cake equally getting RD to stop smoking.

25th is the race. All his clients have by then either filed or are going to prison house. :yikes

The casino rooms are priced at auditor canonical pricing. I'll bring the cigars, and even 1 for RD.

I was likewise wondering aforementioned thing. Where are you guys getting the bunk rug at. I'm going to need enough for 2 2x4x13 and 2 2x4x8. Havnt been able to find any for the thirteen' I demand.

i used Abode Depot industrial rug for the fender protectors. Plan to apply the same stuff for the bunks. Existing bunk rug is interior boat carpeting which I assume is roughly the aforementioned. My fender carpeting has held upwards really well.

Went with good quality Doug Fir, no reason to use treated, bolts and carpet volition wear out earlier the fir breaks down....

530RL

Went with good quality Doug Fir, no reason to use treated, bolts and carpeting will vesture out before the fir breaks downwards....

My bunks are original since 1987 and still good. But preventative medicine.

Bought woods (cue beavis and butthead) and carpet. Will seal tomorrow and first carpet. Not sure my liver can handle this project.

Rickybobby

ezzy pezzy... counter sink the bolt heads and staple the shit out of the carpeting, attempt to employ stainless staples and bolts if you can.... good to get!!!! couple of seasons, pull carpeting and check the woods... if all expert, rock on !!!

Rickybobby

I take complete conviction in your liver!!!!

Trex is non strong enough for the length of well-nigh bunks.
If yous have flat bunks (not ones that demand to taper the bend of the bottom of a hull, I'd employ IRON WOOD. Its a hardwood from the tropics and so its very resistant to water damage. I used it on the rear bunks of my prior 25 Shockwave Tremor.

Otherwise, just Dougfir with multiple coats of thompsons water seal.

Treated becomes too brittle over fourth dimension and will tend to splinter

Atomic number 26 wood is what'south used on the deck of crab boats, 800lb. slid around for years.

Stainless
