[QUOTE="codebreak, post: 506659, member: 33925"] I believe Tracker is using treated 3/4" wood in the decking by the text on the page. If you search on the forum I am finding several threads pointing to them using treated wood. 5052 aluminum is the best aluminum material for corrosion resistance which is what they are using, but as I found in my boat it's going to cause corrosion problems over time anywhere that wood is in contact with aluminum. Maybe they are encapsulating? I would highly doubt it seeing the price points Tracker comes in at, but maybe you can take a look under the deck and give us more info? It also might be possible they have added gaskets between the decking and the aluminum? [/QUOTE]
