Thanks folks.
Yes, the original bunkers were completely covered in carpet and have a light backing which I assume did not allow the wood to dry or drain. I'm going to try the cedar and leave the bottom exposed for good drainage. If I keep checking them, maybe I'll be able to tell whether they are holding up or not, or when they are going to fail, if they do. I'll go back to treated if they don't perform perfectly right away.
I have never used the bunker slicks. Are they as good as they claim? Do they mark or scrape the bottom at all? They say they are "non-marking" but that's what they said about the keel roller and bow stop. I just replaced those with the Stolz rollers and I'll clean the black marks from the old ones when I fix the bottom puncture...
breaks my heart to look at the hole in the hull... not really looking forward to dusty, itchy fiberglass work either.
