So I just finished my paint job on my 14' alum duck boat. The paint can come off a little if I scratch it with my finger nail is thAt normal? I used parkers coating and rustolium spray paint. Would a clear coat help the paint from chipping? If so, what kind would work? Any spray cans?

Also, do you need to sand the plywood before applying or Sand between coats ? Or both ?

When coating plywood with spar urethane, do you coat every single side or do you leave the bottom un coated? Also, how many coats should I put on?

ok your right. i looked up the sku # and found the wood you were talking about. Thanks!

i found the 23/32 plywood thanks for the input! BUT isnt pressure treated bad for aluminum boats? (it erodes the aluminum or something?)

i looked at homedepot.com for CDX plywood and it says its pressure treated which according to this site is a horrible choice for aluminum. any other suggestions or input?

sounds like i'll be returning it tomorrow then....so white oak is the way to go? i just called home depot and they do not carry white oak plywood.any recommendations?

i just got back from home depot and purchased 3/4" red oak plywood for the deck along with a quart of helsman spar urethane for coating. will this plywood work well?

That's exactly what I was planning on doing. Thanks for the info.

Currently I don't have the funds for marine plywood at that price so ill go ahead with the ply yo recommended along with the sealant. does th same go with 2x4's? Anythin will work as long as it's sealed?

Thanks for the reply (to both topics). The foam is cut fairly clean for the storage in the stern so plastic storage bins might be a perfect option but the bow storage follows the shape of the bottom of the boat so it is angled down so I might need to build my own storage for that.

I purchased a welded 14' alum boat for duck hunting (pics to come once I get on my computer) and am deciding how to add storage. I have dug out the foam in 2 locations in the stern of the boat, and 1 area in the front. From what I have gathered on this site, I need stainless hardware, and either...

I'm looking tO purchase a boat for duck hunting/ fishing the Sacramento river and found a "catapon" boat on craigslist. The owner said he got the boat specifically for the river bc it is a very shallow running boat and is all aluminum 14'. It almost looks like a tracker grizzly or something...
