Give it a try, it is not that expensive. It's been years since I used it but it worked well. Seemed to last OK but I used it often if I was at shallow ramps. I have also heard of people using Pam cooking spray and Pledge spray furniture polish but have not personally tried them.

Glad I found this info, need to replace my bunks and the surfix looks like it'd make life easier on shallower ramps. Anybody replace their entire bunk and add these? Thinking of just painting the wooden bunk with that thick rustoleum black paint just so it doesn't look so "rustic" with bare bunks under the surfix.

We use non treated pine with bunk wraps. The treated wood nowadays will dissolve aluminum when it meets saltwater.

I just use clear doug fir. The trick is....Don't wrap the wood. I used indoor outdoor carpet from HD. Use outdoor adhesive also HD. Just glue the strips to the face of the bunk! The bunk does not rot because it dries out much quicker than a full wrap. I sold my boat 2 years ago and i think its still holding up. So that's 6 years saltwater. I did the bunks in 08 Think that's a record?
