[QUOTE="codebreak, post: 506366, member: 33925"] Hello all, I started a project on my 14' 2007 Alumacraft and after getting everything opened up I noticed a lot of corrosion on the aluminum in the transom. Does anyone have a list of boat manufacturers who are using treated lumber in their boats or has this practice been stopped? Would love to know because I remember opening up my 2010 Lund's floor and seeing that totally rotted out which surprised me since I thought they didn't use so much wood anyore... I love tin boats, but my 2000 smoker craft was a corrosion nightmare and while this isn't nearly as bad luckily since I found it and can stop the problem, but it's making me not want to deal with aluminum in my next boat. Growing up we had many different aluminum boats which didn't have nearly so many problems except needing to replace the floors every so often and are still holding up while these newer boats rot out from corrosion. I thought things were getting better, but it doesn't seem so for all. [/QUOTE]
