[QUOTE="reedjj, post: 200908, member: 4585"] I used wood 2x2 with the galvanized L brackets and stainless (and a few brass) screws. I coated them with 3 coats of spar urethane and then once the framework was assembled I coated it again. https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=17299&hilit=swamp+sled&start=25 For me and my limited craftsmanship ability the wood was just easier and cheaper. It works great so far and can hold a 260 lb man no problem. I don't worry about the water or even saltwater affecting it. Because I did it myself I know its sealed up right. Probably overkill! With all that said...my next one will be aluminum. [/QUOTE]
