[QUOTE="BloodStone, post: 370331, member: 826"] [b]Thanks but, I was already was well aware of these aforementioned facts (not my first time at the dance, not being rude/arrogant just saying). I just like to plan ahead (possibilities) so I don't pull a Homer Simpson (D'OH!) & have to tear apart & re-do something. As far as PT lumber goes, you can use it in an aluminum boat just as long as you have some sort of barrier between the treated wood & the aluminum itself (aka a good paint, plastic or rubberized coating etc..). Bracing is a no-brainer. I've water tested the boat already (aka taken it out) & it seemed fine but still... Foam installation given the dimensions & overall layout of this particular boat I think would be more for noise reduction than flotation should the boat become swamped. But, thanks for the tip about BP & Cabelas plastic tub inserts I'll check them out & see if they'll work in my situation.[/b] [/QUOTE]
