[QUOTE="Hydrilla, post: 112531, member: 863"] Got the bunk boards measured/mocked up and attached, now they are back off and I'm getting ready to seal them with Thompsons and Liquid Nails on the ends. I tried to overengineer this part of things, because of not wanting to drill holes in the tube cross pieces in the center and rear, but the cost/time involved in doing brackets or something wasn't worth it. I ended up using wood to metal self tapping outdoor screws, and they work great. The center and rear cross pieces are the same height, but the front C channel piece of the trailer is higher, so when the boards are resting on the front and rear, they aren't touching in the center. This was easily solved by putting a 1x4 under the bunks in the center, screwing them into the trailer, and screwing the bunk boards into the 1x4. KISS applies here I guess. Here's a pic. They look close together, but they are just inside the outside strakes on my 1436, which from what I read is where you want them. [/QUOTE]
