Lift
CaptFred,
My lift also came with just 2 straight rails. I purchased the cross members and bunk hardware from E-Z-Loader trailer company. I fabricated the brackets from aluminum stock (mostly angle) and wood. I bought the aluminum stock and galvanized bolts online. The bunks are just 2x6 boards from Home Depot. The brackets I made for the 2 cross members attach to the original straight rails in such a way that did not require drilling any holes in the rails. I was afraid drilling holes might weaken the rails. I also fabricated the small straight support near the bow. I used my trailer for the specs. It was a lot of work. I took the straight rails off the lift and did all the work on my patio. Then we hauled the whole thing down to the lift and fastened it on.
