Hi all,
I will be replacing the covering on my trailer bunks. I hope to eventually make a contoured bunk but may do just a reupholstery for now. I want to put some foam cushioning under the bunk carpet materials and have some sheets of ~ 3/8" foam that is made from the same stuff as pool noodles (not sure of the type, is it urethane? But I also have some rubbery foam (yoga mat stuff) that is thinner, but I suspect is porous and holds water. Can I use that rubbery stuff and if not because it holds water, why is it that it's not good to have wet bunks or water on hull. This is perhaps a "dumb question" but I don't know the answer. I mean, people leave their Fishes in the water at lakes, so ...
I will try later on to make the contoured bunk/s but am not sure how many contoured/shaped cradles I need. Can someone tell me? Maybe just one at mid section to bow? I also an not sure of the sort of name of the brackets what will hold a 2x6 board on edge. If someone could tell me that, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
