Mike, buy the best quality variety indoor/outdoor carpet from Lowes/Home Depot/Menard's. Its the same stuff. It works well.

Use some indoor/outdoor carpet adhesive on the bunks and back of the carpet to keep it from bunching when the boat slides. Get your Stainless Steel staples from the same place you buy the carpet. When you cap the ends, depending on how you fold the ends; you may need some SS screws with some fender washers to put through several layers of carpet.

Bunks
 
I tried somthing new. Bunk carpet is stupid expensive to recover every bunk. I bought new bunks, had the clear Doug Fir cut to length for about $100. I routered the edges to a 1/2"
radius. Went to home depot a had them cut strips of thick Indoor-Outdoor carpet. This was another $80. I glued the carpet on with polyurethane waterproof construction adhesive. Took the old bunks off and threw away. It took about 4 hrs to reinstall new. They seem to be ok so far. The wood dries quicker, no staples, seems to be staying put.. I guess we will see.

Lowe's has the exact bunk carpet as my Myco. It's about a quarter of the price of West Marine and much better
