[QUOTE="BassBlaster, post: 308659, member: 2865"] I'm not looking for a fight either, just making a point. I dont know how a boat made out of pine is lasting decades without a whole lot of maintenance. After glueing carpet or some other covering to the lumber, it can no longer be maintained. There was a thread recently where someone was changing thier layout so they removed thier wood decking that had been treated with spar and installed just a year earlier. In the pics, you could clearly see mold and rot allready on the wood. That tells me, a wood deck isnt going to last more than a few years, even if it is properly treated prior to installation because you cant retreat it after it is covered. I dont have a problem with anyone using wood. To each his own. I do have wood on my transom. If I had it to do again though, the transom would also be aluminum. [/QUOTE]
