I ended up calling Eagle. They said they use Grade A pine, untreated, and so I did too. I gave it two coats of Thompson's Water Seal, spent a few few minutes with a pneumatic stapler and I'm in business!

Bunks
I did mine WAY different. I did not wrap the bunk. Wrapping retains the water and rots the board. I used DF from Home Depot. I routered all the top edges to a half inch radius, I then glued indoor outdoor on the top flat that contacts the hull. Used liquid nails.. 6 years now and still looks the same.

Pics and material list?

Several bunks on my 2002 Eagle are in need of replacing.
What wood are folks using? Treated or untreated. Cypress or cedar or pine? Or is there another material (PVC, for example) that I should consider? Thanks. If you plan on keeping the boat for a long time use Trex. Will last forever. |
I was thinking dont they sell the boards int he composite decking material, if they are the same size, those would last forever you would think.

Stapling into Trex and getting the staples to hold might be an issue. Don't know never tried.
