[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 296703, member: 7544"] This is my brothers trailer after the mods. These are home made bunk slicks. We have a local factory that makes large plastic tanks (6000 gal +) and a friend of mine gave me a sheet of the plastic they make. After cutting the strips to width, I ran it through my thickness planar to make the sides smoother. After it was all finished, we put the boat back on the trailer and I could slide the boat around with 1 hand so they are pretty slick. We started adding the slicks to my trailer as well but ran out of time so we'll finish up tomorrow. Between flipping the axle to the top side of the springs, laying the bunks on side vs edge, and eliminating the bunk brackets that held the bunks above the frame, I estimate the boat rides 6-7 inches lower than before.
