Howdy;
I'm in the process of replacing the carpet on a trailer for a 20' aluminum boat. (Boat WT. 2k) The 2x6 boards are 12' long. I've ordered 3 8' sections of the plastic covers in place of the carpet.
However if I was able to use the stronger version of the plastic 2x6 for bunks it would seem the best of both worlds, boat sliding on the plastic for launch & recovery & never having to replace the bunks.
I'm wondering if the recycled plastic 2x6 planks would support the boat. I've seen some of these decking boards & some of them (ribs on the bottom) are not very structurally sound. I understand there are quite a few different kinds out there.
Anyone have thoughts or advice on this?

No the recycled plastic 2x6 wont support the weight. They are not for structural support. I have cypress bunks then added 3'4 inch starboard strips on the top of the bunks for slicks. They are two years old and still look like new.
