I replaced mine myself. It is not very difficult to do. I used Cypress 2 X 4s. Hope this wood will last for the life of the trailer.

What year and which BassCat? I found out the boards on my old 2005 Cougar were not standard 2X6. They are slightly narrower. If you use straight 2X6 boards it will be a very tight fit between the boards/carpet and chines. Carpet will tear real easy. Just make sure you measure to confirm width. Have not replaced my boards on my 2012 Cougar (yet). My trailer is a 2005 the boat is a PIV.  yep did my BC trailer bunks myself, this summer. Mine is for 95 p2.There were 4 bunks[ 2 short&2 longer] If memory is correct,the short ones arel less than 5 1/2 w. didnt take too long. You can order quality carpet from C. E. Smith. or go to Bass pro. I checked their prices, quite a lot more than marinecarpeting.com, is this CE Smith carpet thicker like the basscat carpet. The one I've used in the past is the same pile rating as skeeter carpet which is good enough for me on bunks, I would call it mid grade thickness.
