[QUOTE="jigngrub, post: 289055, member: 6657"] Your boat will be fine "as is" if you hate it and don't want it to last. :roll: You should read the APA's warning on using ACQ pressure treated wood and aluminum together, the pressure treating solution is highly corrosive to aluminum. Galvanized studs won't get along well with aluminum either, nor will they last in a marine environment... and they're much heavier than aluminum framing. MDO plywood coated with epoxy resin on aluminum framing is the most economical, durable, long lasting, and light weight build you will find. MDO plywood is waterproof and used in making exterior signs and used in the construction trades for forming concrete. About $50 a sheet. [/QUOTE]
