Question:

I am planning on adding bunks to my Harbor Freight 4x8 utility trailer so I can haul my 11 ft row boat. I would like to know what parts I will need for a successful installation. Thanks!

Expert Reply:

To add bunks, you will need the bunks, brackets, and u-bolts.

Bunks
- CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards # CE27845

Brackets
- CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies # CE10000G-4

U-bolts
- CE Smith U-Bolts # CE15283GA-4

This is typically done on boat trailers, that already have the proper crossbars in place. Since you are converting a utility trailer, you may need to make some modifications to add crossbars, if there are not any already in place.
