[QUOTE="SCD, post: 381995, member: 17913"] Hi I have a 1977 14' Duranautic offshore with 9.8 Mercury. I removed the old plywood (I replaced about 15 years ago). The aluminum behind the plywood had about 6 small holes less than 1/4"diameter.The rest of the 18 x 20 section had some gouges eaten in and wasn't smooth. The questions I have are these. After I clean the area, can I use a skim coat of a fiberglass re-enforced body filler to fill the holes and smooth the area then paint? I’m going to use 2 pieces of ¾ plywood glued together primed and painted. I’m going to attach the plywood to the boat with stainless steel bolts. I will sand and paint the outside of the boat also. If I put a piece of rubber roofing between the plywood and aluminum will this keep this from happening again? Does this sound like it will work? I think this happened because I used pressure treated wood the last time. Newbie to this forum Steve [/QUOTE]
