[QUOTE="kfa4303, post: 264496, member: 7274"] Hi saber2th. There are lots of different seat/bench combos you can go with, but there are a few basic rules to remember when dealing with an aluminum boat. 1.) NEVER use Pressure Treated wood on a tin boat as it will cause a galvanic reaction leading to pitting in your hull. Instead, use exterior grade, non-PT wood and seal it. 2.) You can use 2-part epoxy, fiberglass mat & resin, or several coats of Spar Urethane to seal any wood prior to paint and installation. 3.) Use stainless steel hardware throughout.
