I bought the coloured outdoor carpet from Lowes. It's the same stuff that was on my bunks as I bought it.

Lowes/HD usually carry a carpet that can be used and they have stainless or monel staples. I haven't seen galvanized staples.
Walmart, boat and trailer stores, and large sporting goods (Dicks, West marine) will also carry the carpet.
The carpet is to protect the boat, as said before, don't wrap the entire bunk.1997 MasterCraft 205

Same here - the gray stuff that's like $0.53 per sq ft. Comes off a 12 ft wide roll, so 2-3 ft is more than enough for the job. I fold it under itself along the bunks and use galvanized roofing nails to secure to the wood bunks.
I keep some extra and put between the trailer axels and the concrete blocks I use to keep the tires off the ground while the boat is on the lift for the season.
FWIW, A neighbor of mine swears using firehose is the best.
