[QUOTE="screwballl, post: 189567, member: 4837"] The problem with the linked story is: Considering they are trying to get sales going, of course they will say whatever they want. The problem is that you cannot fight physics. that is obviously mentioned in that story as well by using phrases such as "less corrosive"... less corrosive still means it is corrosive. Less corrosive does not mean "not corrosive". That story and the manufacturers of MCA also have a very specific list of approved fasteners, which are very small contact points with the wood FOR FASTENING, not large scale high contact setups like what would be used with our boats... That pretty much means "not for boat trailer usage". So with that at hand, it is still not recommended to use any treated lumber that contains copper that has any contact, direct or indirect, on our aluminum boats. You cannot fight physics, NEVER mix copper and aluminum. [/QUOTE]
