I have an alternate option for you, but we do not have any carpeted bunk boards that are 6" wide. All of our bunk boards are 2x4's.

Instead you can source the boards from a lumber yard or home improvement store and then use the CE Smith Deluxe Marine-Grade Carpeting for Bunk Boards # CE11349 to cover the boards. A 2x6 is going to measure 14" all the way around, so this is the only carpeting that we have that is wide enough.

To cover your (2) 6' boards and (2) 10' boards you will need a total of (2) of the CE Smith Deluxe Marine-Grade Carpeting for Bunk Boards # CE11349. Each roll would be enough to cover (1) 10' board and (1) 6' board.

Hey Bryan, that's a good question. The pricing can definitely be misleading, but I wouldn't use it to judge the quality of the tire. A lot of that comes down to promotions, inventory, and whether you're looking at a tire by itself or…

The 5.30-12 tires, being wider, are going to make more contact with the road. This means that the noise, and heat build up will be higher than a 4.80-12 tire but the rolling resistance will actually be less because the tire is larger diameter. The…

The two sizes you mentioned are pretty similar and fit many of the same 15 inch wheels. The 205/75-15 fits rim widths of 5 inch to 6 inch whereas the 225/75-15 fits widths that are 5 inch to 6-1/2 inch. The 205 is 27.1 inches tall and the 225 is 28.4…
