Does anyone have a suggestion of a place to order new trailer bunks from? Mine are rotten and need to be replaced.

Thank you !

I went to the lumber yard and cedar boards and made my own. As matter of fact I still have some I made from treated wood that u can have if you want them I wont ship them but would deliver to the twin cities if the timing works out

I made my own for my old boat. Treated wood with bunk carpet from Cabela's. Stainless steel hardware. Easy.

They are easy to make, though I would use cedar rather than treated, especially for aluminum. I've heard treated lumber can eat away or corrode aluminum. Not sure how serious an issue that is, but figured I would not take the chance when I made bunks for the 2 aluminum boats I made bunks for.

Not sure if it matters for fiberglass boats or not but cedar worked well for me in the past and is what I would stick with.

I had a friend of mine help me with mine. Got some treated 2×4s and some indoor/outdoor carpet from menards and went to town. Luckily he is a metal fabricator, but the brackets were made at his work. 8 of them for maybe $30-40 bucks. About $80 in material, maybe a bit more.
