Yea I actually heard that about the copper naphthenate in the treated wood not being good for the aluminum boats but when I asked around i couldn't find a single person that ever had a problem with it and most have had in there aluminum boats for 5+years right against the hull with no signs of...

I am not sure exactly how much weight I added to it, once the treated wood dried a out it defiantly was less. It sids good in the water. I still push it around witha 7.5 hp Merc and i can get it to plane.

No i was actually the surprised myself that the boat was hardly if any more tippy than before. As far as the wood I just used treated lumber I didn't do any other water sealant

They are Lakes n Rivers Deluxe Folding seats, I got them at Fleet Farm https://www.fleetfarm.com/mff/detail/lakes-n-rivers-deluxe-folding-seat/0000000060796

this is the end product, give me your guy's feed back, i plan to do another one this next year and any tips would be great

now building it up (the fun part)

the original plan was to paint the entire boat with a gray on the bottom, but after taking off the paint i liked the color of the aluminum so i left the bottom original, it also saved a lot of time and money

than i began to take the paint off (the longest and hardest part in my opinion)

Here we go this is what i started with when i did my restoration this last summer/fall

I just got a 14ft v bottom aluminum boat and i plan to fix it up. This is going to be my first project and i was wonder what kind of paint do i use for and aluminum boat?? Please help
