Replacing trailer bunks
 
am I correct that I should use treated pine for the replacing my bunks?

I assume I should be able to get the 4”x10”x14’ at any lumber store?

Decent discussion about it a little bit ago.

Thanks I searched it but didn’t find anything

I wouldn't. Treated wood will not take sealer (if you do that). I used untreated fir and sealed it. Best is cypress if you can find it. When you put carpet on, be sure to leave a little of the bottom of the bunk open for drainage.

What are you hauling with 4X10X14' bunks? As far as your question, I used treated lumber and carpeted over, no sealant of any kind. I used 2X6 of various lengths for my 39' NT.

34 Phantom, that's what is on the trailer now so I just wanted to make it the same

4x10 will probably be special order,but not a problem. Be sure to use stainless fasteners so the pt doesn’t eat your hardware. Stainless roofing nails work well to attach the carpet from below.

Use monel staples for the carpet

I had to replace the bunks years ago. Back the boat down and the bunk broke off (rot). Now I'm thinking how do I get the boat out of the water for a few days. I called my buddy and asked if the buyer of his boat picked it up......."yeah its gone".....Great can I put my boat on your lift? He left the lift down and I went boating all day and put it on his lift at the end of the day! Day saved!
