The plywood was stamped a label for greenwood products plydek, I found their website online and I spoke with a very helpful gentleman there who confirmed that Alumacraft and Smokercraft had purchased their products in the past. And they knew Smokercraft was using their products in ways which they were not intended to be used (not encapsulated). He mentioned that the treated marine plywood they made was designed to be encapsulated, but manufacturers were not doing things to spec... Big surprise there... He said that they stopped supplying treated wood for boat manufacturers about 15 years ago so if it's something happening now it would be via other suppliers.Interesting, to hear about G3, Seaark and Xpress. I do think Xpress definitely builds a good boat from what I have seen so that is good to hear. I would like to know about more companies who have eliminated wood completely and what years they did so. I know I've seen videos of new boats being shown and when you pull up the carpet you see unprotected wood everywhere.</blockquote>
