Hi! We appreciate the great review. Remember, as we continue to grow, Tuff Bunk wouldn't be what it is without our customers feedback. We have already added instructions on our hardware kit. Thank You again for showing your boat some love with Tuff Bunk!

That seems about as dumb as the price tag….. I’m paying $260 for a bunk bored u say will last basicly forever….. but now say drilling the holes that are required to mount them can cause them fail and i as a customer have to pay extra for some silicon to protect the holes

We maintain the waterproof integrity of Tuff Bunk by recommending installation with urethane sealant on each lag bolt penetration. Carpet wrap holds water over the entire surface of the board, thereby promoting wood rot that isn't noticed until the complete failure of the board.

yes they will they're lying to you bud

Composite boards do offer the advantage of long life over carpeted boards. Composite boards will sag at lengths over 60" and their surface is extremely slick. This may not be the best option for everyone.

@@protechmats5274 This would be why you would reinforce the composite...

Thank you for your comment. We understand that Tuff Bunk trailer boards may not be the best fit for every budget or needs. We provide the only non-skid, completely waterproof (when installed with urethane sealant on the lags) solution at lengths over 60". Wraps and composite bunks have their place but don't directly compare to Tuff Bunk trailer boards.

Pvc boards? Where do I find what you are talking about

@@thetruth1938 home depot. Few different options. Composite deck boards or pvc

Material engineer here. PVC is waterproof but also very slippery. If you have any concerns for your vessel sliding off then PVC or similar thermoplastics are not for you. $40 in material will depend on the length and it would be the cheapest option in composite decking options. Add the cost of your time to put it all together and it may not the best solution for everybody.

@@DBbyDesign I'm looking to do my jetski trailer, should be fine right? I would definitely double up

bed liner is rough though, right?

@@Straight0uttaCrofton Yes, but I see them sanding it smooth for the boat to slide on? I think that’s what they did, or makes sense to do so.

@@Straight0uttaCrofton I don’t know what they used, they wouldn’t tell us anyway. I don’t see why it wouldn’t work, right?

@@peteryeung111 let me know how it goes because i definitely ain't paying $400 for some bunk boards

I wouldn t I d go back to new carpeting before tried something like that why risk it..They sell Teflon slides can put in bunk boards I was thinking trying them?

your brain is bunk

Hello Jeff, 3 year warranty. Please visit our website for more info.

Drop your prices about 50% and ill consider it. There are other manufacturers that offer 100% synthetic bunks (with no wood) for about the same price you are asking for wood coated in synthetic. Unless you are offering a lifetime no question replacement warranty....

@@jeffbridges7009 the synthetic bunks are HDPE (Thermoplastic) and yes, eliminate the wood. The trade off is that they are extremely slippery and can only span up to 60" before becoming too weak in-between mounts. TuffBunks offer a grippier option to carpet or HDPE with the strength of wood for longer plank spans.

Our Tuff Bunk doesn’t scratch no more than what Carpeted Bunks would with debris. Please note that the trailer should be submerge in water enough to ride your boat and have a slick surface.

Hi Mikel, We feel with limited knowledge of the Tuff Bunk product you might feel the way you do at first glance. We do apologize for the lack of information; we are filming another video this Friday with all the updates from when we started one year ago until now. With over 1,000 boards shipped we have learned a lot and we plan to share it with the world. We agree with you, the mounting holes could be a point of failure over time, however, 4 to 10 holes in the board depending how long it is opposed to the entire board being wet with carpet. It is a night and day difference. They also dry quickly especially in the sun opposed to carpeted bunks. Carpeted bunks just set there dripping water for hours and remain damp for up to a week or more. We are now recommending a sealer for the bolts to help reduce or cut water entering this 100% sealed board. I wish we could use paint, but it would not do the job. The reformulated polyurethane chemical we use is $38.00 a gallon only because we buy it by the truck load, or it would be more. As far as price, we just received a 145% price increase on lumber and there again it would be higher, but we buy it by the truck load to keep the cost down. Also, something the consumer should know every Tuff Bunk board is a premium board to start with very few small knots. This improves strength and performance. The wood is also heat-treated, planed, and jointed at the lumber yard. When we receive the boards all small knot holes are filled, and all board are passed though a drum sander to get a better fit to the boat and improve the cosmetic appearance. They are then robotically, or hand sprayed with a high performance polyurethane coating. Tuff Bunk is not for everybody, but we will always do what we can to make products that help the consumer enjoy their boating experience. Kinds, Randy the Owner

Hello Junior, At first consumer might think Tuff Bunks are a scam, but nothing can be further from the truth. First, 2” x 4” and 2” x 6” lumber just went up 125%, check updated prices at your local lumber store. We hope prices will come down in the future. #2 All boards need to be kiln dried and planed as well as jointed. There is also a 10% cut off to make the Tuff Bunk, making sure all is good. All knot holes need to be filled and some boards get taken out because they have excessive knot holes. The chemical used as well as the process is expensive. All the prices you see on our web include shipping and that has gone way up as well. To tell the truth we have done thousands of Tuff Bunk Boards with very little profit. We are proud to offer this Patent Pending product and we will try to refine the process so we can keep it afloat because the consumer Loves It. Please feel free to call or email us for more information.

@@protechmats5274 what keeps it from rotting when I drill holes I it to mount to my trailer?? Those open holes expose the inner board to alot of water. Also that texture looks like it will scratch the bottom of the boat.

​@@JuniorHarvey-zh4jr If there are any concerns about the boards rotting out over time due to water entering the board through the mounting holes please use a sealer. All new and improved Tuff Bunk boards are now being manufactured with a smooth non textured surface to avoid scratches. Please connect your winch strap on your boat before pulling out of the water if there are any concerns of the boat sliding off the trailer. Thank you, Randy.

Yup needs a sealer bec it’s not sealed Will rot

@@protechmats5274 Lumber Prices are down now... I think this is a bit silly since we're talking about 125% of 16 dollars worth of material. I honestly thought these were made out of a composite material. Now that I find out they're jur Rhino-Liner'ed 2x4's... Wow... what a scam.

Hello Kevin, you are right the area could rot over time from the mounting hole, however, it would take a long time to rot. You can always add sealant to it.

Hello, thank you for reaching out. Please visit our website for more info. www.protechmatsproducts.com/item/boat-trailer-bunk-replacement-tuff-bunk/

@@protechmats5274 I checked the website but couldn't find any info regarding this specific question.

I can tell you one thing for sure this product was not developed to rip anybody off. You are correct the boards are coated with reformulated bed liner. You have to look at the inter process to understand how much work goes into the board itself to prepare it for coating. One thing that makes this product so great is that you cant get good boards at a retail outlet. We purchase our boards in large volume and every board is plain, jointed, knot holes repaired and hand sanded to perfection. As far as the coating goes we apply it via robot and by hand. The chemical is very expensive, this is not a get rich scheme that's for sure. With all of that said, we are proud we can offer it and the fishing boaters are one of the best customers to offer it to. Best Regards, Randy

All you need to do is lay the bunk on the bracket have somebody hold it down while you mark it with the marker and then drill it but don't use a 5/16 drill bit like they say too big of a drill bit the bolt don't tighten down use a smaller one and use some marine grade adhesive sealant in the hole and on the boat I just now put them on my boat I'm going to see how they hold up good luck

@@catinassassin7721 How you liking it so far? Might order some soon.

@@swimbaitninja4761 It's a 2x4 sprayed with bed liner material.

Hello Be, thank you for your comment. If interested please visit our website for more info. @t

@@protechmats5274 oh ok its like the composite decking boards so like plastic

@@bee2333 High performance rubberized coating. Extremely durable polyurethane surface.

Where do I get this product contact info please

Hi Lloyd, Tuff Bunk is a great alternative to carpet. We started offering the Tuff Bunks at Lake Havasu AZ, long before we brought the product to market. All of the users so far have not noted that they are slippery. We just purchased a crane scale and plan to make a video on how many pounds of pull strength these Tuff Bunks have compare to carpet. The high performance coating that we use is reformulated truck bed coating chemical design by the chemical manufacturer for this use. Tuff Bunk has a Semi hard rubberized coating that offers high surfaced abrasion strength. The boards can be counter sunk for through bolting with carriage bolts. Our dream is to manufacturer and supply the last bunk you will ever buy! Samples are available please email your request and we will forward one ASAP. Thank you for your interest! Made in USA, Patent Pending.
