[QUOTE="FishyItch, post: 170910, member: 4387"] Pardon the pun, but I'm in the same boat as you, PartsMan. Plus, I don't plan on building a raised deck, just a flat floor and turning the benches to storage, so I think I'm fine with just wood. Also, I know that aluminum has an advantage of longevity and durability, but what's the limit on wood if it's got a few coats of spar varnish and it's taken care of? (i.e. no standing water in the boat, all wood under marine carpet and sheltered under a boat cover or roof) I mean, I would imagine the wood would last just as long as the carpet on top of it. 5 years? 10 year? 15?
