[QUOTE="pointcityboater, post: 264077, member: 8734"] Personally, if it were me, I'd stick with the high-grade non marine ply and waterproof the living daylights out of it. I say that because if it is going to be affixed to the trailer then it is going to be submerged often. Not only that, but if it is going to be carpeted, the carpet is going to hold water against the wood at least until it dries naturally. I would not put treated wood anywhere near where my boat is going to be, that stuff scares me. Treated wood contains copper. Copper and aluminum is a bad combination causing pitting and corosion. Over all, I think I'd have to go the high-grade route. At least you know you have bought yourself some extra time before you have to replace it that way. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
