If your boat is aluminum don’t use pressure treated wood.
Aluminum boat manufacturers may be using a different product for the bunks. The chemicals that are used in the new eco-friendly pressure treated wood will Leach through the carpet and into the aluminum and eat pinholes in the hull. It's the same reason why there is a disclaimer on a box of aluminum trim coil that says do not use directly over treated wood. I did this on some treated 4 x 6 post one time and the chemicals in the wood ate the aluminum at the ground level

My take is that gluing bunk carpet holds water too much. Some multi purpose glues aren’t applicable for long term wet situations. If you have questions about chemical content compatibility then consider cypress. Very strong and long wet life. IMHO, I’d rather get the right wood and replace the carpet a couple of times. I don’t care for the plastic slide stuff. Guess I’m just old school.

I did mine and just used indoor/outdoor carpet from Home Depot. Yes, definitely stainless staples. I borrowed my neighbors air stapler which made it way easier.
