Boat loads and Unloads Slick Now


Fish Farmer

Recommended Posts

Hey guys, if you're thinking of the plastic sliders Fish Farmer is da man! I arrived at his house this morning, picked up two 4 footers & on my way. Except, all he wanted to do was tell fish stories! LOL!

Thanks Brian, hope you have a safe trip. We'll meet up at Mohawk and hope to swap more fish stories, and maybe get some fishin in :D

 

My old 18" Starcraft rode on a roller trailer since new ('87) and shows zero signs of damage. I'm not just talking about dents, there's not even a rub mark at the point of contact. To further dispel the myth; when I hauled boats for a living, they road along just fine one 1 sqft carpeted steel bunks at the back and a 4" wide V block at the front. Side bunks were decoration and didn't contact the hull. We're talking about 40'ers sitting on VERY small contact patches. When it comes to weight distribution per square inch, it's your fridge you should be worried about.

 

And to stay ON TOPIC...

Composite decking boards are readily available and comparatively cheap but full marks for "thinking outside the (penalty) box".

I thought about composite boards but they are too thick to put on top of the 2X6, and too run them instead of the 2X6, are not rigid.

Thanks for the input comments guys.
