[QUOTE="Tin Man, post: 489466, member: 7021"] As my other threads have indicated, I am making some upgrades/improvements to my trailer. It is a 2017 Karavan 16' with 2"x4"x5' carpeted bunks. I will be adding an adjustable bunk bracket to the A frame of trailer so that I extend the bunks to 6' (see drawing below). The additional one foot length I'm sure will be minimal in terms of added support and load spreading. However, what about when I go to make the new bunk boards I make them 2"x6"x6'? Are there any concerns with these wider boards? They should just fit on the outside of the bottom hull strakes. My goal with all of this (bunks, rollers, etc) is to support the boat/hull as much as possible. The roads to/from the lakes I frequent are horrible! Thanks! [/QUOTE]
