Cedar would work, it’s just more expensive. As for wrapping the entire board, it just looks better. The important part is the contact surface and padding feature of the carpet. While you’re updating your trailer, add the new style ratchet tie downs to the rear. So much better that old school straps

we don't use pressure treated because it seems to split/crack more than just good old douglas fir. use stove headed galvanize bolts, and counter sink the board so the crowned head is a touch lower than the surface. trailer bunk carpet comes in a number of grades, spend a few more dollars on better carpet. i like to through bolt instead of lag screws from underneath. fit your uncarpeted bunks, install the bolts, then a first layer of carpet on top with just a few staples to hold it in place, then another layer that wraps the entire board (just like wrapping a christmas present) then attach to the trailer, with washers and double nuts (all galvanized). jam nuts prevent loosening when that trailer bounces down the road. buy an inexpensive electric stapler and you'll be set.

It takes discipline to improve says @Chet

Wide, Strong, Center. Words to live by according to Chris Rossi.

I took notes a few years back while listening to a Chris Rossi interview, and also one time when Chet Raley was addressing a ski club meeting. They’ve gotten pretty faded on my office wall as you can see :

We use this in the shop. Relatively affordable as scanners go :

Congrats to @mikegile and @rico and Steve Schroeder. @Horton was 8th.

Kudos to Carrie Taylor as your boat driver. And very nice skiing btw.

Call them. They are very helpful. If you get the VM leave a message, they are very good about returning phone calls. Timmy is a rockstar.

You can download the driver to your laptop from the ZO website.

a ton of good stories, and a moment of silence for the passing of a great man.

As I sit in a tower today watching skiers, and counting to 6, I looked into my collection of pictures.

we affectionately referred to John as "The God-father", and I still think of how he would handle certain situations related to ski events, and try to emulate his response/actions. I'll never forget when Karina Knowlan wanted us to change the running order at a Hilltop tournament so she could ski and flee, and John's candid response almost made her cry

He was a great man. He taught me how to be an official. I know that he will be missed. He could be tough when needed, but was always caring.

another bump, and the deal just keeps getting better $34.5K @Horton and I were talking the other day about lowering the price vs. continuing to use and store. It's better to lower the price a little to see if it will make someone jump in and buy a great boat

I have a 5.7 with over 4200 hours complete with fresh cat manifolds if someone wants a power train. It was running when removed, trans is also good. Came out of a 200, will sell all or parts.

Bump. price reduction to $39,500.
