You names your boat "Bass Trek" as in Star Trek only with bass?

Sure did - been a Trekkie since 1966...

A friend gave me a boat. It is currently unnamed. I am thinking of naming it Howe'sBoat. What do you think?

The actual bunk broke? Or the carpet ripped?

I am about to replace my bunks after I noticed that one of them broke and was considering going the Ultimate Bunk Boards route.  Anyone installed these?  What model and size did you go with and are they working well for you?

It broke. Starboard bunk towards the bow is bent downward at a noticeable angle.

My bunks are still holding on.  When the time comes I plan on getting some 8' plastic lumber 2X4's from Menards and doing it myself.

Be prepared to do a LOT of sanding. I actually looked at that stuff at my local Menards....it's very rough surfaced.

That's interesting.  Given how boats slide off so easily, you would think a little roughness would be preferred.  I'll have to look more closely.
