[QUOTE="rcaircraftnut, post: 461941, member: 24380"] Read that treated woods like marine grade are not recomended in aluminum boats. Someting about corosion of the metals. So I will get some exteririor grade and coat it in polyester resin. Will do the bow wood the same way. Hope to be able to get it all ready for welding by Friday. If so I will drag it to work with me and go to the welders after work. The livewell plumbing was all bad. Brittle from age. Both drains have been filled with some kind of sealant lol. The pump broke as soon as I tried to turn the nut on the thru hull. Again, brittle with age. Thankfully though most if not all the wiring is intact and in servicable condition. Now on wiring I generally know what Im doing. I was a Navy electrician haha. [/QUOTE]
