[QUOTE="richg99, post: 425710, member: 4376"] Never, Never, Never use treated lumber with an aluminum boat, IMHO. That c#$@ has turned many aluminum boats into aluminum screening. The old stuff had copper and arsenic in it. It was bad. The newer treated lumber has different additives, but the manufacturers still recommend to NOT use with aluminum screws, etc. Never have figured out why anyone would want to take a chance with it when regular lumber is readily available and works well enough. For plywood, just use any EXterior sheet... i.e ACX BCX anything with the X in it is made with EXTerior glue. rich [/QUOTE]
