If I use pressure treated wood in a basstracker boat for the deck, can i seal it with fiberglass resin to keep the pt wood and aluminum from pitting
AGREED!!! it has copper and other bad stuff that dont like aluminum. use regular wood and put spar urethane on it and it will probally outlast the boat............NEVER USE PRESSURE TREATED WOOD!!!!! just my two cents...Ranchero50 said:You can do whatever you want, however I doubt any sound thinking fellow on this forum will advise it.
PT wood is loaded with moisture by the nature of pressure treating. That moisture will work it's way out of the wood through cracks and imperfections in the fiberglass. The chemicals will eat your hull.
