[QUOTE="msumoose, post: 238966, member: 2393"] Look, I am a wood scientist by education, and I would not use ANY form of treated wood in my tin boat. If you think that the "new stuff" will not cause as much corrosion, just look at the new coatings for fasteners that is recommended nowadays. Most of those screws have a plastic or ceramic coating so the treatment chemicals won't make contact with the steel. The problem is the copper, whether it be in chromated copper arsenate (CCA) or alkaline copper quaternary (ACQ) or micronized copper (MCA). As for ply, an exterior grade is PLENTY. Don't waste money on marine grade. If you look at my posts, I have gone in pretty good detail on this issue in the past. [/QUOTE]
