Question:
I am building a shore ramp for a Laker pontoon boat with flat bottom pontoons. The boat weighs 650 pounds. Would the roller bunks be a good choice?

Hey Dan, yes you can use roller bunks like the part # CE27700 with a flat bottomed pontoon boat like what you have although some don't like to use them as it can create point loads that can dent the toons. Generally carpeted bunks are better for flat bottomed boats as they distribute the load a lot better.
