[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 322823, member: 1523"] If you are on a budget build it right the first time and use aluminum for the decking at the very least. Electric only you are already running heavy with extra batteries, wood decking is going to make it run deeper and work harder to move itself.. If you insist on wood, just seal up regular pine, no OSB or PT in aluminum boats. The PT stuff will still leach out of the wood and settle everywhere you have metal to metal contact and corrode those areas. [/QUOTE]
