[QUOTE="rotus623, post: 425410, member: 15266"] Yes, certainly do NOT use pressure treated directly against aluminum. I disagree about the marine grade wood comment. The marine ply that was on my '84 Starcraft was still in really good shape when I pulled the floor up 30 years later, except for one soft spot. It wouldn't hurt to use some spar urethane on it though. I used CDX and 3 coats of spar urethane. Im sure it will last for years, but I just worried about the screw holes that I had to drill in it to set the rivets. I still tried to coat the inside but Im not confident that it won't start rotting in the rivet holes. [/QUOTE]
