[QUOTE="jigngrub, post: 247874, member: 6657"] The chemicals in ASQ pressure treated lumber are highly corrosive to aluminum: https://www.loghomebuilders.org/the-corrosive-problem-acq-treated-lumber The others are right about the 2 layers of 3/4" plywood for your transom, it'll be stronger than dimensional lumber and won't hurt your aluminum. Plywood weighs about 25 lbs. per 1/4" thickness. Your boat will only be about 50 lbs. heavier with 3/4" decking, not as much as a cooler of beer and ice. I like 3/4" for decking, it makes for a strong build and a solid feeling deck. [/QUOTE]
