I used two layers of the "composite" wood from Home Depot. It is glued together with Polyurethane adhesive. I cut it down to approximate the original bunk wood. I routed the edges of the new material and used stainless for all the bolts for attachment to the entirely sand blasted, primed and repainted trailer and bunk supports. I topped off the composite bunks with a 3/8" layer of white high density polypropylene fastened with stainless wood screws then rounded off the edges. There is NO carpeting. Will this scratch my gel coat? I will report later on that. It made a nice neat job but I am not sure how all of this will fair with UV or salt water. I hate rust, rot and poor craftsmanship so I took my time. This is all an experiment. Good Night and Good Luck. ----MMP Hull # 189.

A bit pricey but looks nice, won't rot or splinter or split. That is definitely in the forever category.
