Some follow-up. The bunk lowering has worked great. I did move the bunks back about an inch for new holes, and did the 90* bend on the tops of the bunk bolts so they could be removed, if it is ever needed. Also, for the bracket mounting bolts I use a very liberal dose of lanolin everywhere before putting them together and tightening. That has worked well, still not rust on those. The boat is easier to get into from the fenders: step up on the end of the fender, then to the top an swing a leg over. It seems to tow better, and the launching has been much dryer for the truck.
I just got the boat back from bottom paint. (Didn't get that done while I was working on the trailer.) Now I am wondering if the Teflon slides have a more deleterious affect on the bottom paint than sliding on the carpet?

I have found more wear from the "Slicks",mostly in the Target bunks--not so much the main bunks....You can always touch up the paint. _________________ Bob Austin

Thank you Bob. I have had some scrape marks from those target bunks before and on my previous rebuild I took out a fair amount material, (wood) off the inside corners to decrease that. It helped, but didn't take it all away, that is part of the reason why I did the lowering.
