C.e. Smith Bunks
When it comes to protecting your boat's hull during trailering, loading, and storage, C.E. Smith has built a reputation for manufacturing some of the most reliable bunks in the marine industry. As an ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturer established in 1967, C.E. Smith applies decades of precision metalworking expertise to create boat trailer support systems that combine durability with hull protection.
Carpeted Bunk Boards Built for Marine Environments
C.E. Smith's carpeted bunk boards feature marine-grade construction covering 2"L x 4"W boards with weather-resistant marine carpet and minimal water retention. Available in multiple lengths to accommodate different boat sizes, these carpeted bunks provide a cushioned surface that prevents scratching and damage during the constant movement of launching, loading, and road travel. The specialized carpet backing ensures long-lasting performance even in harsh saltwater environments, while the proper board dimensions distribute weight evenly across the hull to prevent stress points.
Roller Bunk Systems for Smooth Loading
For boaters who frequently use shallow ramps or face challenging launch conditions, C.E. Smith's roller bunks convert boat trailers from bunk board style to roller style, allowing boats to roll smoothly instead of sliding. These systems feature durable rubber rollers mounted in rust-resistant galvanized steel channels that absorb road shock during trailering. The roller bunks are available in both 4-foot and 5-foot lengths, and can be mounted directly to existing bunk boards or attached to trailer frames using optional swivel brackets that allow height and angle adjustments to accommodate different hull shapes.
Versatile Installation Options
C.E. Smith bunks come pre-assembled and pre-drilled for easy installation, and may be installed using mounting brackets if lift or angle adjustment is needed, or bolted directly to trailer frames for flat-bottom boats. This flexibility makes them suitable for everything from small fishing boats and PWCs to mid-size recreational watercraft. The company's complete line of compatible brackets, hardware, and accessories ensures that boat owners can configure their trailer support system to match their specific vessel and trailering requirements.
Precision Manufacturing for Marine Reliability
C.E. Smith brings the same commitment to quality control and precision manufacturing to their bunk products as they do to all their marine hardware. Each bunk component is engineered to withstand the rigors of repeated wet-dry cycles, UV exposure, and the mechanical stresses of loading and unloading. Whether you're replacing worn carpeted bunks or upgrading to a roller system for easier boat handling, C.E. Smith's bunk solutions deliver the performance and hull protection that serious boaters demand.
