[QUOTE="RStewart, post: 121455, member: 278"] I used a combination of 2x2s and 2x4s. I bought 2x4s and ripped them down to 2x2s. As far as plywood, I used 19/32 (3/4) standard plywood. I coated mine with thompsons water seal, but if I did it again, i would wrap the wood in fiberglass to permantly seal it. I dont think it is a good idea to use treated plywood cause of a chemical reaction with the aluminum. I just do my best to keep my boat as dry as possible and after each use I open all lids to let it air/dry out. As long as the wood can dry it will last longer. If the moisture is trapped and the wood stays wet, then you it will rot faster. [/QUOTE]
