[QUOTE="BillG, post: 238783, member: 7424"] Use exterior grade plywood. How you seal it is up to you. I did not coat mine in epoxy resin. I used several coats of exterior porch paint. You will read that I wasted my time and money. I don't think so. I keep my boat covered. Rot will eventually find its way into a boat. Spending to much money repairing your boat is not going to get you more back when you sell it. If you plan on keeping it forever then build it to last one time. I do agree with the pressure treated wood discussions. I would not use it. My main reason is because I want to finish my project and pressure treated wood is wet which also makes it heavy. As it dries it shrinks. What will happen to your boat as the wood shrinks? Are you planning on letting it dry out before you use it? So much to think about. In the end, do your project how you want to. I use this site for ideas and advice. I will also offer MY opinion from time to time. Who's right and who's wrong? Does it really matter in the end as long as we get the results that we are looking for? JMO [/QUOTE]
