So . . . it seems like using composite lumber, bolted down, combined with EZ glide or some other plastic covers might be a good way to go.

I Gave Up on the Idea

Can you find composites in 2x6 or 2x8? Seems like most of it is for decking and only come in 1x6 form.

We know that wood works, its flexable, strong and economical. Upgrading to some newer materials may not have the same characteristics that wood has. more

I just removed the carpeted bunks, replaced with PT 2x4 and ditched the rug, the teflon pads supposedly work better but I haven't tried it yet.
I also used stainless stove bolts, countersunk into the 2x4. [links]

I would stick to pressure treated in the same dimension as the original bunk. The reason is this: Boat hulls are curved. If you use a heavier grade lumber, the lumber may not bend and conform to the shape of the hull, and cause permanent damage to the hull. It is important that the bunks sag a bit and not cause flat spots on the hull. Both my bunk trailers have 2x4 bunks and both have sagged under the weight of their boats. Thats a good thing because I know the boat is not being damaged.

SE Florida? Any saltwater boating?

[meldavies88]

My questions are, has anyone here used plastic lumber?

if the springs rest on top of the axle, depending on the size of your tires
and how far you travel, repositioning the springs to below the axle will
give you another couple of inches.
again - depending on the size of your tires and far you travel, road surface, etc. [links]
