[QUOTE="Brine, post: 141310, member: 1053"] Well, it looks like the boat already has a layer of paint on the inside right? That will certainly help, and if you paint everything that's currently exposed/touching aluminum, I think you'll be fine. The steel screws you used will cause problems before the treated wood. Aluminum doesn't play nice with dissimilar metals. Stainless steel or aluminum is what you want for your fasteners. Nice looking boat, and those seats (and the story) are awesome. Good luck with the rest of your build. [/QUOTE]
