[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 399934, member: 7544"] During my youth, I rode in many home built wooden boats. All of them were built with plywood and some solid lumber strips (approx 1x3's in most cases) that I think were cypress. They didn't have "pressure treated lumber" back then but they had plenty of tar and they weren't bashful about using it. Although in most cases, it really didn't take much. I'm not sure what they treated the inside and larger areas with to keep it from rotting though. And I agree with the others, pics of your project would be nice to see. [/QUOTE]
