[QUOTE="Big_ug_chevy, post: 411117, member: 20435"] I agree with the wood comments. I made the same exact mistake. I recommend going to 1/8 Aluminum plate. It will never rust and last for the life of the boat. It will also reduce the weight significantly from using treated OSB. You will find out how top heavy and unbalanced the treated wood makes it. Once I swapped over to all aluminum my problems were solved. Make the change now before you're in too deep. It sucks but I wouldn't chance it. Lesson learned. [/QUOTE]
