Question:

Hello . I’m looking to convert my 2003 6900#capacity load Rite trailer from roller to bunk style. The boat is a 2120 parker pilot house V bottom 21* deadrise with OB motor. Ive sent a few photos along. If you could advise if this is doable for this trailer? Are there conversion kits available from you and how much could I plan on spending to do such a conversion . I’ve owned the trailer since new and all is still in orettt good shape , Ive bought tires and brake and hub kits from you in the past for this trailer Thank you for you Time.

This 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 would just round up to 11'. I have included the parts needed to make the conversion to 11' bunk boards below.
