[QUOTE="SteveF, post: 219230, member: 6734"] Hi gang, Glad to be aboard and I've added a paragraph after my question so you'll know my story if you care, lol!! I'm about t pull the trigger on a realtively new Tracker 1436 with only a 5HP outboard and a trailer; not even a trolling motor. Ripe for conversion! Most of the excellent work I've seen on this board seems to use common dimensional and untreated plywood lumber. Any problems with warp, rot, etc?? Suffestions? Should I spring for marine stuff? Are the chemicals in treated stuff bad news for me and the boat? Thanks!! I built an 8' pram 50+ years ago which is still in use (elsewhere). I worked my way througth canoes, bass boats, etc to a 28' 370HP inboard pilot house boat that I captain out of Annapolis. Now I'm getting to be an old fart and winding back down. Maryland is somewaht devoid of fishing but the upper Potomac isfairly close and there is a 500 acre electric only lake that I use to attack so those are my plans! Steve [/QUOTE]
