[QUOTE="aviationgrade, post: 404490, member: 20469"] The reason they didn't use treated wood in that boat is because the treated plywood of that time had copper chromium arsenate in it, which is very corrosive to aluminum-don't ask me how I know this. Nowadays they do make cca free treated marine plywood just for aluminum boats. So its safe to use on your boat. I have a 12' Gamefisher that I bought when I was 13 years old-I'm now 42-and I didn't have to replace the transom until about 5 years ago. I used stainless steel button head machine screws with 3M 5200 and they held up just fine. In fact, every time I find loose rivets in the bottom of the boat I just drill out the rivet and replace it with a machine screw and 5200 and they all hold up just great. Just make sure you use the nylon lock nuts to hold them in place. I hope this helps [/QUOTE]
