Cypress Bunk w/Carpet 4x14x1
The Cypress Bunk w/Carpet 4x14x1 is a 4-inch wide by 1-inch thick by 14-foot long cypress wood bunk board with marine carpet pre-applied, sold by the foot, available at Skipper B Trailers in Westwego, Louisiana. This is the premium bunk board material for Louisiana boat trailers — cypress wood with marine carpet already installed, ready to mount directly onto the trailer's crossmembers. Cypress is Louisiana's own wood — the same rot-resistant timber that's been used in Louisiana construction, boat building, and marine applications for generations because it contains natural oils that resist decay, insects, and moisture. Where pressure-treated pine bunks swell, warp, and rot from constant water exposure, and standard lumber deteriorates within a few seasons, cypress holds its shape and structural integrity through years of submersion at every launch.
Louisiana boat trailer owners who launch at Bayou Segnette State Park, Lake Pontchartrain, and the ramps across Jefferson Parish and the Greater New Orleans West Bank submerge their bunk boards twice per trip — once launching and once loading. That's 60-100+ submersion cycles per season for active anglers, and hundreds of cycles over the life of the trailer. Standard pine bunks saturate with water, grow heavy, and begin rotting from the inside out within two to three seasons. The wood softens, the carpet separates, and the bunk develops soft spots that don't support the hull properly — creating uneven pressure that dimples gel coat and fatigues aluminum hulls during towing on Interstate 10, Highway 90, the Westbank Expressway, and the rough roads between Westwego, Marrero, Harvey, and Gretna. Cypress bunks last dramatically longer because the natural rot resistance keeps the wood solid under the carpet. The pre-applied marine carpet provides the soft, protective surface that slides under the hull during loading without scratching gel coat or aluminum. Whether you're Fishing Fanatic Frank replacing rotted bunks with cypress for a long-term upgrade, Captain Chris re-bunking fleet trailers with the premium material that lasts, a marine repair shop offering the best bunk option to customers in Greater New Orleans, or New Boater Nancy and Nick investing in quality bunks for their first trailer, cypress is the Louisiana-proven choice.
At $39.99 per foot, this cypress bunk with pre-applied carpet provides the premium Louisiana bunk material ready to install. The 4-inch width by 1-inch thickness fits standard bunk mounting configurations on Magic Tilt and other boat trailers. The 14-foot length covers full bunk runs on trailers for boats up to 18+ feet. Cut to length as needed. Perfect for bunk replacement, bunk upgrades from pine to cypress, re-bunking projects, and boat trailer service throughout Southeast Louisiana.
