[QUOTE="justin sumner, post: 418231, member: 13457"] I did a little more research on the chemicals and treated wood, I returned the 2x4 and just got a regular one for my bunk boards. I did not treat it or anything, but I did not carpet the wood all around, I left the bottom bare, I just have 2 bunks under the boat, 3' each, so it is not a big deal to me to not have the wood treated or anything. If I use 1/2" outdoor rated plywood for the decking, and I carpet it, do I need to use wood stain or something prior to carpeting. I have a little 2x4 chunk that i use to mount my trolling motor, and i wood stained it before mounting it, and it just seemed to wear off and not really be worth the money and effort to wood stain. That stuff is expensive, it was like 40 bucks for a can of it. Is there something else i should be using instead of wood stain that is cheaper, or am I ok just using the outdoor plywood as is. My boat is currently garage kept, and if I wind up living somewhere that i do not have access to a garage, I will build a pole barn, I also have a boat cover, so it will never be exposed to the elements while not in use.
