Good tip on the sealer and stainless steel staples; also use pressure treated 2x4s ....... also try not to completely cover the 2x4 on its underside to allow it to drain and dry out better...... tight lines

You might consider 2 x 6's. Just a thought. My boat is 17' and 2000 lbs fully loaded with trailer and everything and was advised to use 2 x 6's.
If you can, through bolt them. Takes a little more time but will last longer. I didn't and know I will wish I had. Just counter sink them sone on the top side.

Take a carriage bolt and mount it thru with some sealer under the square shoulder and smack it with a hammer to set it in wood. then cover it with your carpet. , better yet, wrap the top and sides in plastic first to keep water off the tops of bunk where air can't circulate. Use anti-sieze on nuts and it should last long time.
