    Yes indeed, your boat is a Ski Nautique with no other designation. For your trailer, treated lumber is the norm. You can also purchase bunk carpet from nautiqueparts.com, which is already cut to size.

      You can use treated exterior grade pine, which is probably what was on it. Hd and Lowes have the correct carpet for the runners, and its sold as marine carpet by them. Try to find some stainless or monel staples, amazon is easy place to source them. Do you have a wishbone or multi bunk trailer?

        Look for the Olefin marine carpet at HD or Lowes. Very nice looking SN.

          I'm thinking redwood would be way too soft of a wood to use as trailer bunks. Pressure treated doug fir with stainless hardware is good.

            Regarding the prop, I'm not sure if you have a 1:1 transmission. The gear reduction might play a factor in what prop you should have. The wrong prop might make your engine rev excessively. I would call Acme props for advice. They have always been a great help to me.

              To answer the questions.

              1) The trailer has 4 seperate stringers, two for the rear, two for the front.
              2) I have the 1.23 trans (i believe that is the correct ratio). I know it is not the 1:1
              3) Thank you, i think it looks bad A**. Ive wanted one forever and now i have it, im sure the wife will appreciate knowing i wont be upset when she kicks me out into the garage to sleep at night....
