[QUOTE="Miller13, post: 292525, member: 10443"] Hey all, I'm reading on these threads about carpet on the bunks , I understand about the copper in the pt lumber but I have seen a lot of old timers just lumber on and roll with it maybe if you have a flashy jet boat or triton like I (had) the more you want to baby it. But wouldn't plain pine with thompsons be just fine for a tin boat? It seems to me the bottom of the boat is wet and if you dunk the bunks a little before you load it shouldn't be a big deal, and unloading it will float off . Maybe it's just the redneck in me but I can't see putting carpet on there for it to fall off in a few years anyway . Am I the only person that sees this in such a fashion, or am I really missing a big point here? :beer: :beer: :) [/QUOTE]
