I recently rebuilt my old trailer for a new jon boat. I replaced all the rusted fasteners, replaced the old rusted springs, replaced the jack & winch, repainted it and also replaced the boards that the boat sits on. Not thinking that it might damage the aluminum boat, I used treated 2X4s that I covered in carpet for the boat to sit on.
Will the treated 2X4s cause corrosion to the bottom of the aluminum boat through the carpet? Will the layer of carpet protect the bottom of the boat from the treated lumber? I dont want to damage the boat, as I just bought it and it will be sitting on these boards for a long time. Should I replace these boards with common untreated 2X4 studs?
What type of wood are you guys using, for your boats to sit on? Thanks for the help.
