[QUOTE="Jonboat Jerry, post: 291002, member: 6334"] Hey Whistler, Still in the painting phase (Oil base DeRusto primer + Gloss White TC), but beginning to think about bunk replacement. [img]https://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg261/JerrySweet/Da%20Trailer/DSC00706.jpg[/img] One is to use PT wood bunks with a heavy plastic shim between them and where they they contact the aluminum. This is commonly used on boat lifts where the hoist beams contact the dock pilings. [img]https://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg261/JerrySweet/Da%20Trailer/DSC00702.jpg[/img] Another idea is to use 2X6 aluminum box beams 12' long, bolting two together (4X6) on each side and caping with a 1X4X12 composite/synthetic dock board. Pricey I'll have to check with a local metal reclaiming business to see what they have first. Jerry [/QUOTE]
