[QUOTE="great white, post: 308617, member: 6238"] No pressure treated wood or wood preservatives. They react with the aluminum and corrode. Paint, varnish or resin coatings only unless you you isolate contact from the aluminum and the treated wood. While aluminum is a preferred material, I often get a little giggle when guys trash wood installs; entire boats are made of wood and last decades or more. It's in the build and care. Aluminum lasts longer while tolerating more neglect, but it also has it's own issues. Check my signature link to my 12 footer build for some ideas on how to build it if you want....my dad was a shipwright and although I am not one he taught me a fair bit so I might have a tiny advantage in wood, fiberglass and aluminum/steel work......:) [/QUOTE]
