[QUOTE="Brine, post: 258714, member: 1053"] Welcome to the site. Make sure to go through all of the builds, and you'll get a grasp for what's involved with each. If you use aluminum, use rivets. If you use wood, use the coated deck screws or stainless. Steel doesn't belong in an aluminum boat. It's too heavy and will cause corrosion. If I were to use wood, I'd use 2x2's instead of the 2x4's. You'll not only save on weight, but also in storage space. The decision should be based on budget, and overall expectations. Each build usually has a discussion about it. [/QUOTE]
