[QUOTE="danlva, post: 253712, member: 6473"] I'm with ya FuzzyGrub. It never held water, but was always humid under the casting decks. I am in Iowa after all, home of humid/hot summers and long cold winters (with this winter being the exception). And thinking about it further, "Rot" may be the wrong word. Warping and separation were the main problems. I didn't try putting anything on the wood to prevent moisture from getting in and that's where I went wrong. And after learning about the aluminum reactions, I realized that I had to start over from scratch. My friend's pontoon boat reacted the same way using identical materials in the same amount of time.
