[QUOTE="MNHunter505, post: 308624, member: 9507"] I was in the same boat...going to choose wood for price and ease of use. But in the end, I went with Alum and couldn't be happier. I had no prior experience working with alum but after a couple rivets...I felt completely comfortable. Take the advice of me and alot of others that have already posted here....go with alum. Trust us. Also, wood isn't necessarily cheaper. After buying spar urethane, $17 per quart, and the fact of all the extra time it takes to put three coats on...man, you will wish you would have went with alum! onlinemetals.com is super cheap when you buy it all in one shipment. I bought seven 8 ft lengths of 1x1 angle (1/8" thick) for around $70. [/QUOTE]
