[QUOTE="rebg38, post: 23219, member: 218"] Not sure this is the proper place for this post, but it does concern remodeling boats, so thought I would put it here. Thought I would tell you how I handle wood on this type of project. First of all, my choice or wood is cypress, but it hard to find, and a bit costly, so I noramally go to my second choice... cedar.. its light weight and rot resistant. Its hard to find 2x lumber in the cedar, so I will normally buy a 4X4 and cut it to the demintions I need. For the 1x materal, I just use the 1x6 or 1x4 that is rough on one side and planed on the other. To further preserve and/or seal the wood, I paint it with 2 or 3 good coats of a good quality aluminum. Does it work??? well 20 years ago, I put a cedar floor in my 1542 tiny, and it still in as good of shape as it was the day I installed it. Just thought you might be interested in another thing to consider...lol [/QUOTE]
