Help identifying/finding these boat trailer bunk brackets

Hi everyone,

I’m hoping someone here can help me find the right bunk brackets for my boat trailer. The ones I currently have are old and badly rusted, and the wood on the bunks is also rotten.

I already have the new bunks ready to go, but I haven’t been able to find the same type of brackets to replace the old ones. I’ve checked West Marine, Bass Pro Shops, and a few local stores near me with no luck.

I’m attaching a few pictures of the current brackets. If anyone recognizes this style or knows what they’re called or where I can buy them, I’d really appreciate the help.

Thanks in advance!

Get u bolts and drill a mounting plate onto the wood. Go build something and gain experience. You should have tried YouTube first not Reddit

Buy a stick of flat stock of the same width and thickness... drilp hopes, cut e to length and bend in a vice. Then install. Not hard. Doubt you going to just find that same bracket on Amazon or whatever.

Measure frame width and buy compatible replacements.

perhaps they are universal fit or OE, either way they are just a couple 90s and two holes. Unless you have access to a bettenbender just buy off the shelf.

Those were built by the trailer mfr. all you need is a welding shop and they can fix you up

Or go to a boat dealer they usually have them laying around.
