[QUOTE="Hanr3, post: 225323, member: 1055"] plywood will rot in a realatively short time frame, 5 years or less unless you go pressure treated, in which case the treatment will eat the aluminum in about the same time frame. Marine grade plywood only means they use water resistant glue and there are no voids, will still rot in about 5 years, longer depending on the protective coating. Exerior grade plywood would last, however its full of voids, thus a good wake and your motor could crush a void, next wake and the motor could fall off. Even if it didnt fall off, your left replacing the wood again. White Oak is your best option unless you want to sacriffice durability. [/QUOTE]
