These carpeted bunk boards provide hull support for your boat during transport and storage. Each 5-foot-long board is wrapped in weather-resistant, marine-grade black carpet. You can run the bunk boards front to back for traditionally shaped hulls or side to side for flat-bottom boats, kayaks and inflatables.
To attach the bunk boards to the front and rear crossmembers of your trailer frame, use existing brackets or a four-pack of swivel mounting brackets (CE10000G-4, CE10001G-4 or C10002G-4 - sold separately). These brackets allow you to install the bunk boards at different heights. In addition, they enable the bunk boards to tilt to accommodate and support boat hulls of different sizes.

Video Transcript for CE Smith Boat Trailer Carpeted Bunk Boards Review
Kevin Bross: Today we're gonna be taking a look at the CE Smith carpeted bunk boards for boat trailers. Available in three, four, five and six foot lengths. Here you can see our bunk board's in place. Now, these are designed to support the whole of your boat as you're heading down the road. They're wrapped, as you can see, in marine grade black carpeting. This is gonna be strong, soft and very weather resistant.It's designed to not scratch your hull as you're coming on and off.
It dries out very rapidly. So we don't have to worry about water sitting on it for a long time. And it's mildew resistant. They also have complete copper-free manufacturing. So, even with steel or aluminum hulls, they're gonna be just fine.Now, as we said, there are different lengths available.
The three, four, five and six foot lengths. All of them are gonna be about an inch and three quarters thick, and they're gonna be about three and three quarters inch wide. Now, you can install your bunk boards in a couple different ways. If you already have brackets mounted to your trailer then just use the hardware here to attach it.If you don't have these, also from CE Smith, we hae the adjustable, not only with the pitch in which our board will sit, but the height. So we really customize it to our trailer.
And it'll be a four pack. So just get as many as you need. Now, we're gonna reuse the in bolts that we're existing previously. Just replacing our brackets here.If you need the U-bolts, the part number is CE15502A. And you'll need one for each bracket.
You can see the dots here on the face. I like to use those as kind of a reference point so I can get them on here nice and level. Now, you'll want to use three eighths washers and lock nuts if you're gonna be using the U-bolt that we recommended. Gonna place those on. And I'm gonna take most of the slack out of these.Then you'll just get those set where you need them. Now, with each boat, that's gonna be a little big different. You might them a little bit farther out or a little bit closer in. Just look at the hull design and determine where you're gonna need them at. Once you've got your width set and you get your height where you want it then we'll just tighten it down. Always a good idea just to double check after you've tightened it down. Make sure it hasn't moved. And you'll be ready to set the pitch on the top here.Now, our application is a flat bottom jon boat. So these are gonna be set flat. But it's nice that you have the adjustability so you can angle these at the direction you need. Now we're gonna place our bunk right on top. Once we have these centered left and right, we have them in the position we want, I'm gonna use a marker and I'm gonna mark the carpet right there. We'll mark it at all four of our hull locations.Now, as we put our screws through to secure the bunks to our brackets, whether you're using this style, or your own, the screws have a tendency to grab that carpet and want to twist it a little bit. Use a small piece of brake on, or in this case we're gonna use a little union. We get it heated up really well using a little torch. And we'll go right down over that hole. And see it's gonna create an opening there. And it also seals the carpet's edge to make sure it won't rip or tear from there. But that'll allow us a great area to get our bolts in there without tearing or pulling that carpet.Next I'm gonna use an eighth inch drill bit and get a little pilot hole going. This'll allow the screws to go in without splitting the bunk. Once we have our pilot hole started we'll enlarge it to a quarter inch. Just, of course, want to be sure you don't screw all the way through the bunk. All right. We'll do the same thing for the other end.Now we're ready to flip our bunk back over. We'll just line those holes up with our brackets. And we're place in stainless steel lag bolts and washers. Get it started. And then secured down using a 14 millimeter wrench. Now we can head to the front and do the same thing there. That's gonna complete our look at the CE Smith carpeted bunk boards.

I purchased this set of bunks to replace the set on my trailer that is over 15 years old. For the price they appear to be great. Well made. Installation took about 45 minutes for both. That includes removing the old set, new hardware and mounting the new. With the new bunks it made unloading and loading my boat very simple. Thank you E-trailer. 93654

The bunks look brand new after a year of use.So far satisfied with my purchase.

I recently purchased two sets of bunks boards for my trailer. Although I have not installed them yet, they seem to be of good quality and I am initially very happy with them. I am most impressed with the etrailer web site and how easy it was to order and how fast it was shipped and delivered. Since it was shipped to Canada I expected it to be delivered in 10 days and it was delivered in 3 days. I will definitely use etrailer again.

Item is as described. I have them installed on the trailer for my 14' lone Star boat. These bunks cost less than the carpet alone from the large marine retailer in my area. They're not pressure treated and feel light, but it was nice to buy pre-carpeted bunks. If they last a couple years I'll be satisfied. 151512

One year later, havent used the boat much, but the bunks are still straight as an arrow and look like new.

the parts are great a lot heavier duty then I was expecting. I am very happy with the products. the only suggestion is to make it more clear on the parts that come with no mounting bolts so you know to order the extra hardware. 610692

- Recommended Roller Bunks for Boat Trailer to Ease Launching and Loading Boat and Bunk GuidesThe best option for your boat to move better on and off your trailer is to use the Dutton-Lainson Boat Trailer Deluxe Roller Bunks # DL21741. These rollers make loading and launching your boat easy. They are available in 4 and 5 foot lengths, so I've linked a page to assist. You will also need the roller bunk brackets like # DL21742. The attached video will also help you with the installation and operation. One note is that we recommend having a rope attached to your boat when using...
view full answer... - 10 Foot Long Carpeted Bunk Boards for Boat TrailerI can certainly understand not wanting to have to connect 2 five-foot carpeted bunk rails like # CE27820 to get the 10 foot bunks you need. We don't offer them in the 10' length because the shipping costs would be more expensive than the bunks themselves. If you're a DIY kind of person, you can pretty easily make your own bunk boards using 2" x 4" or 2" x 6" pressure-treated lumber and CE Smith Marine Grade Carpeting like # CE11350. Most hardware stores will cut the boards to the length...
view full answer... - Bunk Boards Needed to Carry Kayaks on Boat TrailerYou can actually purchase the carpeted bunk boards and the brackets that hold them, like what is on the CE Boat Trailer # CE48810, separately. This way you can add more to your trailer if you have the room for it. The Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies # CE10000G-4 can be installed on your boat trailer using the CE Smith U-Bolts # CE15283GA-4. These U-Bolts are 3-13/16" long, 3-1/16" wide, and have a 1/2" diameter. For bunk boards we have a couple of different length options for...
view full answer... - Converting Boat Trailer From Rollers to Bunk BoardsFor the bunks I recommend using two sets of the 5' CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards # CE27820, or you'd like to get your own wooden boards you can wrap them in Marine-Grade Carpeting # CE11349. To install the boards, you will need a pair of Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies # CE10001G-4 per board, which are 11", as well as a pair of U-Bolt Kits # CE15283GA-4. I've added links to video reviews of these parts for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Replacement Bunks Needed for 18 Ft Klamath Aluminum Boat on Hanson TrailerThe longest boards that we offer are going to be the CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards, # CE27840, which measure 6 ft long. I have included a link to all of our carpeted bunk boards for you. The bunk boards can be mounted to existing brackets on the trailer or you can use the CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies, # CE10000G-4, which would attach to the trailer frame and allow for height and angle adjustment.

- Recommendation for 10 Foot Long Carpeted Bunk Boards for a Bass Boat TrailerI have a couple of options for you to add 10 foot long carpeted bunk boards to your trailer. First, you could use 2 sets of the 5 foot long boards, # CE27820. The other option is to get 10 foot boards locally and staple on some carpet yourself. We have different carpet options depending on what size and color you want and I have included a link to them for you.
view full answer... - Replacement Carpeted Bunks For Boat Trailer RecommendationWe offer both carpet that you can use to replace your worn carpet on your bunks for your trailer, and we also carry replacement carpeted bunks for your trailer. The carpeted bunks we offer come in varied lengths. If you need 6 ft bunks, I recommend part # CE27840. These come in a set of 2, and is wrapped with marine-grade black carpeting. For 5 ft bunks, you would need part # CE27820, for 4 ft bunks, part # CE27810, and for 3 ft bunks you would need part # CE27800. If you decide...
view full answer... - Converting Boat Trailer from Roller Bunks to Carpeted BunksAll of the boat trailer bolster brackets we carry such as # CE10001G-4 are strong enough for general use so they do not carry specific weight ratings. These particular brackets are beefy 11-gauge galvanized steel. For bunks we offer carpeted lengths up to 6-feet. For your 20-foot boat four 5-foot bunks # CE27820 should do the trick. Keep in mind that if the trailer currently has roller bunks like # DL21741 switching to carpeted bunks will increase the drag/load on the trailer winch....
view full answer... - Pontoon Boat Carpeted Bunk Trailer RecommendationWe sell carpeted bunks that should work for you trailer, they are sold in differing lengths. You will need to measure the lengths of the bunks currently on your trailer to determine what length bunks you should get. We offer the following lengths, they are all 2x4's covered in carpet: 6 foot long CE Smith Bunks part # CE27840 5 foot long CE Smith Bunks part # CE27820 4 foot long CE Smith Bunks part # CE27810 3 foot long CE Smith Bunks part # CE27800
view full answer... - Replacing Rollers with Bunk Boards on Lund Boat Trailer There's no particular reason you can't replace the rollers on your Lund trailer with wooden bunks. To do this I recommend taking a look at the CE Smith Bunk Boards # CE27820 which include two 5 foot long pre-carpeted boards that will work great. The black carpeting is marine-grade so it's going to hold up just fine to frequent water exposure. To install the boards you will just need a set of bolster brackets like the CE Smith Galvanized # CE10000G-4 along with the U-Bolts and hardware...
view full answer... - Replacement Carpeted Bunk Boards for a Boat Trailer with 10 Foot Long Bunk BoardsFor bunk boards that are 10 feet long you could use a couple sets of the 5 foot long bunk boards, # CE27820. You would use one set of each 10 foot section needed. If brackets are needed you can use bolster bracket set # CE10000G-4. You will need at least 2 bracket per board.
view full answer... - CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Board Length Availabilities I do have a few similarly sized bunk boards however, we currently do not carry bunk boards in the exact specification you requested. We currently have 4 different sizes of bunk boards. The CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards for Boat Trailers are carpeted 2x4's available in 6' part # CE27840, 5' part # CE27820, 4' part # CE27810, and 3' part # CE27800. It is however possible for you to modify the length of the boards to meet your exact needs as long as you don't mind trimming and re-attaching...

The boards come in 2 ft, part # CE27850, 3 ft, part # CE27800, 4 ft, part # CE27810, 5 ft, part # CE27820, and 6 ft, part # CE27840. Each of these bunk boards is a 2 x 4 covered with marine-grade carpet that helps protect the hull of your boat as it is loaded and unloaded. If you have longer bunks and you want to cover the bunks you have we carry marine-grade carpet that would work...
view full answer... - Bunk Board Recommendation for a Boat Trailer that Calls for 6 foot and 10 foot BoardsThe longest bunk boards we carry are 6 feet long like the part # CE27840 that you referenced. You could use two sets of the 5 feet long boards like part # CE27820 for the section that calls for 10 feet.
view full answer... - Availability of Wood Bunks for Boat TrailerWe carry carpeted wood bunks for boat trailer as well as roller bunks that would work well for you. For a 6 foot long pair of bunks you would want the part # CE27840 or for a 5 foot long section part # CE27820. For swivel brackets for mounting the bunks we have the part # CE10000G-4 for a quantity of 4.
view full answer... - Parts to Convert Roller Bunks to Bunk Boards on Boat TrailerIt sounds like you are just wanting to switch to carpeted bunk boards. For that you can use the CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards for Boat Trailers, which come in a number of different lengths: 5 feet long # CE27820, 6 feet long # CE27840 or 7 feet long # CE27845. To install these you can mount them to brackets that are already on your trailer or use CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies; you would need two of these per bunk board. The assemblies are available in different lengths...
view full answer... - Advantages of Roller Bunks for Boat Trailer Compared to Carpeted Wooden BunksWe offer carpeted bunk boards in several lengths that you can see on the linked page. And we also offer roller bunks, shown on the other link, that can be installed right on top of the wooden bunks if you like (or on their own) to substantially reduce your rolling friction for easier loading and unloading. Roller bunks like # DL21741 will make life easier on your winch by eliminating most of the friction between the hull and trailer. Your winch will last a lot longer if you use roller bunks...
view full answer... - Are the Boards in the Carpeted Bunk Boards TreatedI spoke with my contact at CE Smith and the wood in the Carpeted Bunk Boards # CE27820 is a non-treated wood. The carpet though is marine grade carpeting.
view full answer... - Bunk Boards and Brackets That Allow for Angle AdjustmentTo adjust the angle of the bunk boards such as the 6' # CE27840, 5' # CE27820 or 4' # CE27810 you can simply use the Swivel Bracket Assemblies # CE10000G-4 which attach with U-Bolt Assembly # CE15283GA-4. The swivel brackets allow the bunk boards to tilt so they can accommodate boat hulls of different sizes.
view full answer... - Availability of Crossbar System from the Malone MicroSport Trailer # MPG460GThe Malone MicroSport Trailer # MPG460G uses crossbars like what you would find on the roof of a vehicle instead of bunk boards. This is sold on our site as the Malone Crossbar Conversion Kit # MPG475 and it comes with the mounting hardware. If you are wanting carpeted bunk boards instead we have them in the following lengths: 2' - # CE27850 3' - # CE27800 4' - # CE27810 5' - # CE27820 6' - # CE27840 These come in pairs.
view full answer... - CE Smith Boat Trailer Compatibility with Inflatable Boat and Outboard Motor on InterstateThe CE Smith Boat Trailer for Boats and PWCs up to 12' Long - 800 lbs # CE48810 will work well to transport your boat on the interstate. The wheels cannot be switch to the 12 inch size without removing the fenders and adding larger brackets to accommodate the increased diameter. The wheel and tire combinations that come with the trailer are rated for speeds up to 65 mph. If you choose to change the tire size, I don't recommend going over the 12 inch wheels and you can use the Taskmaster...
view full answer... - Availability of 4 Foot Long Carpeted BunksWe don't have 2x6 bunk boards that are 4 feet long, but we do have 2x4 carpeted bunks that are 4 feet long. For that you would want the part # CE27810. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Recommended Carpeted Bunk To Replace Rollers On 2004 Venture Boat TrailerFrom my research of the Venture boat trailers it looks like there are two cross members for the 20-ft trailers. You will need to determine what length bunk boards you want to install on your trailer. We do offer bunk boards that have the carpet already installed on them if that works for you. For a 6-ft boards you can order part # CE27840, and for 5-ft you would need part # CE27820. These do come in pairs. To secure the bunk boards to your trailer frame I recommend the CE Smith...
view full answer... - Recommended Placement of Bunk Boards on Bayliner Capri 1950After completing a very thorough image search online, it appears that the most common bunk placement is about 2/3 of the way between the keel and the ridge that runs along the side of the hull. Rather than on end, most of the bunks I saw had the board meeting the hull on the flat. This disperses more of the weight of the boat along the bunk. The # CE27820 bunk boards you mentioned would be perfect. I'd also recommend using # CE10001G-4 bunk brackets and # CE15283GA-4 Galvanized u-bolts.
view full answer... - Availability of 10 Bunk BoardsIf you are needing 10' lengths then you may be better off using 2 of the 5' long boards, part # CE27820. The longest bunk boards that we have are found as part # CE27845 and are 7' long so 2 of the 5' boards is the best solution.
view full answer... - Availability of 10 Foot Long Carpeted Bunk BoardsThe longest set of carpeted bunk boards we off is the CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards part # CE27845 which are 84" long x 1-3/4" wide x 3-3/4" tall. Please note an actual 2x4 does not measure 2" wide x 4" tall but rather 1-3/4" wide x 3-3/4" tall. If you indeed need 10' then you can either use two of the CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards for Boat Trailers part # CE27820 on each side or buy the wood yourself and use the two of the Fulton Marine Grade Carpeting part # FCR8012 which will be enough...
view full answer... - Recommended Bunk Brackets for Zodiac Inflatable Pontoon Boat Trailer The CE Smith Bolster Bracket # CE10052-32G features a span of just barely over 15 inches so it might be a bit small to comfortably support the 16 inch tubes on your Zodiac Inflatable Boat. You will likely be better off using a set of standard brackets like the CE Smith # CE10196G-4 that feature a swiveling design to let you tilt the bunk boards at an angle for the pontoon. For the bunk boards themselves you can use the CE Smith Carpeted Boards that are available in lengths of 7 feet...
