There really is no specific bunk board size recommendation to use with the CE Smith Bolster Bracket # CE10052-32G. It really just boils down to what works best for your application. Attached is a photo that a customer sent in where it looks like they were using 2x 6s or 2 x 8s with 4 of this bracket.

We also have carpeting for bunk boards which will help yo cause less friction when loading your boat. I recommend the CE Smith # CE11349 because it is 18' long and 18" wide so you should be able to wrap a whole 2 x 6 with the width. You may need 2 of these though depending on the length of your boards.
