[QUOTE="thill, post: 495766, member: 4972"] We use PT lumber, Cypress and even Cedar. But PT 90% of the time. White lumber will rot really fast unless you find a way to treat it. For the cost and effort of pulling a boat and rebuilding the trailer, I would pick something that will last. I have had PT bunks on all my aluminum boats for many years and have never had a problem with it ever. I think the carpet isolates the wood from the aluminum. No contact, so no electrolysis. Now, if you are in salt water often, that may be a different story. I always put my boat in the lake after a trip to the salt. [/QUOTE]
