## Abstract

A composite design bunk rail system comprises low coefficient of friction adjustable slides with a shock absorbing base, simplifying and precluding damages from loading and handling vehicles, a supporting structure, and adjustable support frames.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A composite design bunk rail system comprising a supporting structure, vehicle slides, and adjustable support frames,
wherein the vehicle slides are attached to the adjustable support frames,
wherein the vehicle slides are a composite design with a low coefficient of friction sliding surface adhered to a shock absorbing base,
wherein the shock absorbing base is a rubber with a 40 to 70 Shore durameter hardness rating, which serves as a vibration isolator,
wherein each of the adjustable support frames comprises an aperture and radial slots and is bolted to the given frame support permitting rotation of the adjustable support frame with the vehicle slide to conform to a supported vehicle.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The composite design bunk rail system of claim 1 wherein the vehicle slides comprise integral U shaped supports.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The composite design bunk rail system of claim 1 wherein the supporting structure is a boat trailer.
