Try using the 1x4 pvc boards in leu of the carpet. Use stainless steel fasteners and countersink them below the surface of the PVC. Should make the Surface slicker and rot free.

I have to redo the carpet on my Ranger. I’m going to go ahead and replace the wood and carpet.Ranger said to use regular pressure treated wood from Home Depot.I will be getting 24 oz bunk carpet.
Any opinions?

I replaced the bunks on my trailer with composite and they are very slick, if you go that route just be prepared to change your launch routine.

Would you glue and staple or just staple?
I’ve talked to a few places that do them and they said they glue and staple but how does glue stick to wet pressure treated wood.
I have used stainless steel staples with good results. An air stapler is also nice. I believe the staple size is T50. Think I got them 9/16 or 5/8's. The air stapler really sinks them in there. Doesn't cost much more than a regular hand stapler

I like glue AND staple. I just hand staple, and if some don't go in far enough to suit you, just light hammer tap them down. You sure don't want them forced in too deep.
T50 Stainless is correct. Oh, and my technique for loading my boat is to back in a little deep, then pull out to THE SPOT to wet the bunks, then drive the boat on.
And, as mentioned, a gap in the middle of the bottom is a must IMHO.
Some folks paint or stain the boards, at least any cut ends. Do it right, and they may outlast you or the rig.
