- Bunk Boards
- 60 Inch Long

- CE Smith
These carpeted bunk boards replace your boat trailer's worn-out bunk boards. Each 5-foot-long 2x4 is covered with durable, marine-grade carpet that helps protect the finish on your boat's hull and is easy to clean.
Features:
- Carpeted, wooden bunk boards support your boat's hull during trailering
- Marine-grade black carpeting with velvety finish is strong, soft and weather resistant
- Minimizes scratches on the hull
- Resists mold and mildew
- Rinses off easily and dries quickly
- Bunk boards install easily in either of 2 ways
- Mount to existing brackets on trailer frame
- Attach to trailer frame with swivel brackets (sold separately), allowing for height and angle adjustment
- Copper-free construction is safe to use with aluminum and steel boats
- Made in the USA
Specs:
- Quantity: 2 bunk boards
- Dimensions: 60" long x 1-3/4" wide x 3-3/4" tall
- 3-Year sun-fade warranty on carpeting
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.

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.

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.

Better than I expected! I expected regular 2x4’s wrapped in carpet. Drilled them to tap mounting screws underneath and we’re a plastic synthetic material. Carpet and the work is top shelf! Glad I went with these instead of trying to make them myself! Package arrived sooner than expected which was cool!!
Thanks!
Thanks!

Looks great and saved me time by not having to buy wood and carpet it myself. Be aware of the staple locations before mounting as they could potentially get in the way.

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.

I was originally looking for material, glue and staples to re upholster the bunks on my boat trailer. I found new bunks complete and ready to go on your web site. I came to my senses and bought them. To make the job easier and nicer I also bought new bolster swivel brackets. It was much easier to set the new bunks next to the old
ones and mount the new hardware. You have two great products, I would highly recommend both.

Bought these two along with a set of four bunk brackets, and all was delivered with free upgraded shipping from etrailer.
These boards are perfect and saved me the time of making my own. By the time I would have done so, the cost would have been higher than what I paid here, and probably not as professional looking.
Great product and fast shipping!

See what our Experts say about this CE Smith Boat Trailer Parts
- Recommended Wood for Bunk Boards on Boat TrailerHey Steve! What kind of boat do you have? The untreated southern yellow pine used in CE Smith bunk boards is one of the best possible options and what I recommend. This is highly resistant to decay and bugs. It also has a high resin content which helps it dry quickly, perfect for applications like bunk boards. We don't have a 10' length but what most people do is get two pairs of the CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards for Boat Trailers - 5' Long # CE27820 and put them together.
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... - Is There a Way to Get 9 Foot Carpeted Bunk Board For Boat TrailerHi Dan, While there isn't a single 9 foot bunk board we offer, what you can do to get that is combine 4 foot long and 5 foot long bunk boards with the CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards for Boat Trailers - 4' Long # CE27810 and 5' Long # CE27820.
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... - Converting Boat Trailer From Rollers to Bunk BoardsHi Tim; to convert your boat trailer from roller bunks to bunk boards all you need are the bunk boards and brackets to mount them. You will need to measure the roller bunks you have and get the same length of bunk boards: - 7 Feet: CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards for Boat Trailers # CE27845 - 6 Feet: CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards for Boat Trailers # CE27840 - 5 Feet: CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards for Boat Trailers # CE27820 For brackets you can use the CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket...

view full answer... - Availability of 10' Long Carpeted Bunk BoardsHey Verne! I do have a solution but, 10' bunk boards are not something that we carry. What you can do is use two of the CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards for Boat Trailers - 5' Long # CE27820 to get your 10' length. This will work just as well as an actual 10' board. You will also need the CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies # CE10000G-4. If you need anything else don't hesitate to reach out in the comments below.
view full answer... - How to Install CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards # CE27820 on a Boat TrailerHey Charles. The untreated yellow pine is great on # CE27820 for this application as it is highly resistant to decay and has a high resin content which helps it dry out quickly, not necessarily better or worse than treated for this use case. Now, when it comes to installation, I see that you already have brackets of some kind that are supporting your current boards. Yes, drilling through the carpet is how you would attach them. However, if you need a new mounting system the # CE10001G-4...
view full answer... - 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... - Parts Needed to Convert a Boat Trailer From Rollers to Bunk BoardsThis can absolutely be done. While there are not "kits" for doing the conversion, we do have the parts that you will need. These are not kitted together because each boat/trailer combination is different, so it is easier to not kit them. It is recommended to have bunk boards that are at least 50% of the length of your boat. You can have longer boards if you would like, but you want at minimum 50% of the length. Since your boat is 21', you will want bunks that are at least 10.5' long. I...

- 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... - Parts Needed to Switch a 98 Shoreland'r Trailer From Rollers to BunksWhile there is no specific kit for switching your 98 Shoreland'r from rollers to bunks, it should be relatively straight forward. It looks like your rollers should be bolted on, so you should be able to remove those and then add bunks. You will need CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards # CE27820, CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies # CE10001G-4 and CE Smith U-Bolts # CE15283GA-4. I have also linked our selection of bunk boards in case you need a different length. I recommend getting...
view full answer... - Recommended 5' Bunk Boards and Mounting Hardware For Boat TrailerWe have just what you need. For the two 5' bunk boards I recommend the CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards for Boat Trailers - 5' Long - 1 Pair # CE27820, but the longest board we offer is 7' so for the two 109" boards you will need to get them from your local hardware store and use the CE Smith Deluxe Marine-Grade Carpeting for Bunk Boards - Black - 18' Long x 18" Wide # CE11349 to add the carpet to the boards. To secure the bunk boards to the bunk brackets Stainless Steel Hex Lag Screw -...
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Convert a Boat Trailer From Rollers to BunksIn order to switch from rollers to bunks, you will need to remove the rollers that you are no longer using. I do not see a reason why you can't continue to use the front rollers. You would just want bunks that stop a little but before the front rollers so they do not interfere with each other. You would need to get the bunk boards, swivel brackets and u-bolts for installing the bunk boards. You will need to measure to determine the correct length of bunk board that fits between the middle...

- Recommendations For Raising Bunk Boards On Trailer 2" HigherThe easiest way to raise your bunk height is replacing the bunk brackets like taller ones, like the 10" Tall Bunk Bracket # CE10162A40. If you let me know how tall your current bunk brackets are I can check to see if I can find one at least 2" taller. If there is no taller bunk brackets available, then you could absolutely use 4" x 4" bunk boards instead but you'll need to buy some treated 4" x 4"s at the hardware store and then wrap then in the bunk board carpet # CE11349 as there's...
view full answer... - Availability Of 10 Foot Long Bunk Boards. Hello Bob, so we may have a potential option for you, but unfortunately we do not carry any 10' long bunk boards, nor do we have the ability to custom make you one. We do have some 5' long bunk boards # CE27820, so one option would be to double up on those. Otherwise, the longest bunk board we offer is the 7' long # CE27845.
view full answer... - Recommended 2x4 Bunk Boards 10 LongThe best option we have to replace a set of 10' long bunk boards would be to use two of the CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards for Boat Trailers part # CE27820. The other option we have would be for you to buy the boards yourself and use the Fulton Marine Grade Carpeting part # FCR8012 (2) to cover them.
view full answer... - Recommended Bunk Board Replacement Options for Boat TrailerFor your boat trailer, the length of bunks is dependent on the boat and the trailer, so I would be hesitant to change anything from the factory. It soulds like you have a couple of 2 foot bunk boards that need to be replaced and you can use the CE Smith Carpeted Johnboat Bunk Board for Boat Trailers - 2' Long - Qty 1 # CE27850 for the replacement. You can use shorter bunk boards in combination to reach your current lengths. Doing so will sometimes even increase the strength because...
view full answer... - What Is The Recommended Bunk Board Length For 16' Long Boat?Ideally you want bunk boards that are at least 50% of the length of your boat, and want the to run from the stern and as far forward as you like. Since your boat is 16' Long you will want at least 8' of bunk boards, but I recommend going with two of the 5' Bunk Boards # CE27820 on each side of the trailer. You will need two sets of the mounting brackets # CE10000G-4, and will also need U-bolts to attach the brackets to your trailer. If you can tell me the size of your frame I would be...

If you want treated you can purchase your own boards and wrap them with the CE Smith Deluxe Marine-Grade Carpeting for Bunk Boards part # CE11330.
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... - How To Replace a 10' Bunk Boards On a Boat TrailerThe best option we can offer to replace a 10' bunk board is two 5' bunk boards, the CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards part # CE27820 which will work just as well. The longest bunk boards we sell as one piece is 7'.
view full answer... - 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... - 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.
