Does Ribs of Bottom of Johnboat Affect Use of CE Smith Carpeted Johnboat Bunk # CE27850
Updated 01/09/2018 | Published 01/08/2018
Question:
I am looking for options to support the bow of my 14foot tracker topper jon boat while trailering. I looked at the CE Smith Carpeted Johnboat Bunk Board for Boat Trailers. However, it seems the boat would sit on the ribs on that board and might dent the ribs. I guess my question is how would I prevent it from denting the ribs? And, if its possible that will happen, do you have any other suggestions? Thanks!

Expert Reply:
The ribs of your John boat are actually very strong and the design of them gives the metal quite a bit more strength than if the bottom of the boat was totally smooth. Due to that the CE Smith Carpeted Johnboat bunk part # CE27850 that you referenced would work fine for you.
