[QUOTE="ENIRB, post: 163650, member: 4175"] Thanks for the warm welcome. I re-installed the bench temporarily with 3/4 plywood scrap I had in garage. After scouring the forum and the web, I'm going to just grab a piece of lumber from Lowes, any insight on what species is best? and will provide the most rigidity (not flex) over a 5' span? I understand not to use PT. Remember this is going to be inserted into an aluminum sleeve. As for flotation, I guess I should consider leaving the remaining foam (under both benches, and the two pieces in the rear). I just like the clean look of having nothing but the benches in there, and not having all that rust. [/QUOTE]
