Multiple people have recently asked me about replacement trailer bunks for the Nickels trailers. I'm personally not interested in making them. But I do have the dimensions, and happy to share, if anyone wants them to make a set.

But for those who just want to buy them there hasn't been a source for a while, and I know several people have rotten bunks. So, today I exchanged emails with Eric, at Allen Boat Company. He suggested they could make them, and he has a set he can develop a pattern from.

I did not discuss price, and he did say shipping is a problem and perhaps they might need to be delivered to a regatta site.

If you might be interested in getting some replacement trailer bunks for the Nickels trailers, you could call Eric at Allen Boats and discuss directly with him.
