I was planning on just replacing the carpet on a pair of 90" boat bunks (the bunks carry an aluminum boat). However, when I got into it tonight, I discovered that both the hardware and bunks themselves were rotten. This job isn't rocket science, so I'll finish it up tomorrow, but I have three questions.
1. What kind of wood would you reccomend. I don't have access to composite bunks where I am, and won't use treated wood, becuase of the aluminum boat.
2. I've seen a couple of videos on line where the original bunks, like mine, were covered in a black paint. Any idea what this is?
3. Should I paint or spar varnish the bunks, or just leave the wood as is?
4. Should I be using an exterior adhesive, or just stainless stables, to hold the bunk carpet in?
