Noticed last fall that one of the main padded boards on my trailer appears to be partially broken. Its not as straight as it should be... 
I have the padded felt like material and wanted to confirm if a 2x4 is sufficient for the task. Thinking I should avoid pressure treated due to the chemicals and go with cedar 2x4. Is this good enough or is there another option I should be looking at?
Boat is a 17' Legend with side console and a 40hp Merc.
Also, trailer is a 99, and showling some rust and flaking paint at a few of the joints. Can I just wire brush to clean up the rist spots and prime\paint with a rust paint?
Thanks.....
