[QUOTE="dan h, post: 162206, member: 4002"] i think the proper wood to use is untreated ply wood on both sides.some boats have a thinner piece 1/2" or so on the outside that goes almost or all the way to the bottom to protect the aluminum and add strength and the one on the inside is usualy thicker 3/4" and up this one is for stregnth and motor mounting purposes.i was unaware of the effects of treated wood on aluminum until i visited this site but mostly i see it is a no/no [-X .from what i see most are treating the wood with a water seal like thompsons available at most hardware stores.i plan on either doing this or using an epoxy on the wood on mine.hope this helps and maybe some one who is more experienced than me will chime in here.good luck with your project and look forward to seeing your progress.Dan [/QUOTE]
