I redid the bunks on my Prestige Trailer 6 years ago. After researching the topic until I couldn't see straight the following is what I ended up doing;

Cedar boards
Sealed with a Marine Varnish (multiple coats)
Carpet was wrapped around the bottom but left open
Carpet was glued on all sides and then stapled with Stainless Staples on the bottom side
Bunks were reinstalled with all Stainless Hardware

So far so good, I have one spot of carpet that has wore thru where the strakes on the boat cut across it, and other than a once a year check and tightening of the stainless lag bolts, all has been good. I've been pleased with how well it's held up as I use my boat atleast 2/3s of the weekends we have open water and often times we've loaded and unloaded multiple times in the same day (we have a lake lot).

Good Luck,
