[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 230007, member: 6937"] You're absolutely right about the issue of carpet holding moisture and causing corrosion. If the bottom of the boat is properly painted with anti-fouling paint, it's not as much of an issue. I have carpeted bunks, but the bottom of my boat is painted, and I haven't had any problems. However, people have brought bare aluminum boats to my shop, with leaks in them, that have sat on carpeted bunks, and the leaks and corrosion are almost ALWAYS in the area of the bunks. But after thinking about this, I may eventually change my bunks to the UHMW skid type, instead of carpet. [/QUOTE]
