ALTERNATE COVERINGS

Other DIY covering kits available for bunk boards include Gatorbak synthetic covers in a wide range of lengths, widths and colors, some with LED lighting underneath (boat ingmag.com/story/how-to/ installing-illuminatedboat-trailer-bunks)). Kits start at $43.46. EZ Slide pads (ironwoodpacific .com) made from polyethylene in lengths up to 10 feet attach over bare wood or carpeting. Kits start at $29.95. Both of these alternate bunk coverings offer greater durability than carpet.
