[QUOTE="Bigkat650, post: 238781, member: 7270"] Treated wood and ply is a no-no is Tin boats. As previously mentioned, Exterior Grade ply is the way to go. Its slightly more expensive then the pressure treated, but no way as expensive as marine grade. When properly sealed, it will last years and years. If you have a little time between now and when you want to use it, you can always team up with someone and go to a Building Material Auction. You have to usually buy a pallet, but you can get some great deals. My friend got some amazing deals on 2x4's and ply--he paid about 1/4 the price that Lowes sells the same stuff for. If I was [i]super strapped[/i] for cash, I would go down to a regular ply wood before I went to pressure treated, and just seal it like crazy... but I do not recommend that either. [/QUOTE]
