[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 435629, member: 13599"] Dave - you have done an awesome job on your rig so far !!! a great transformation. and yes, the popular vote is not to use P/T lumber on or with a boat. "treated lumber and aluminum don't mix" is the rule - but not the law. the rule should read: "treated lumber and [i][u]BARE[/u][/i] aluminum don't mix" if there is a layer of insulation between the two, such as carpet and primer and paint, I.M.H.O, it is ok to use it as trailer bunks covered in carpet. IF the boat is properly primed and painted. I have had P/T bunks with outdoor carpet for over 15 years with zero ill effects. I didn't even glue the carpet down - just the generic "Arrow T50" staples. (not even stainless). I feel that in dry states such as AZ, TX, NM and FL, I think that once the P/T wood fully air dries down to 10% or less, the preservative is locked within the wood cells and does not leach out like fresh, wet pressure treated wood [u]will[/u] do. - - - - your boat = your call - - - - the only concern I have is with your trailer. some of the welds look really suspicious. When you trailer your boat, please ensure you use the correct tie-down straps (not bungee cords) and the anchor points are secure. [such as 1/2" eye bolts or shackles [u]bolted[/u] to the frame - not welded]. [ATTACH type="full" alt="weld.jpg"]92514._xfImport[/ATTACH] , [/QUOTE]
