[QUOTE="thill, post: 511590, member: 4972"] SYP (Southern Yellow Pine) from FL is very strong and weather-resistant stuff. Fir plywood is very good for soaking up waterproofing agents. That's why many quality marine plywoods are made from fir. Regardless of type, I personally like soaking ply in Thompson's Wood Preserver, and have used it for many years with great success, but to each their own. As long as you use SOMETHING, it should last for a good number of years. \ I've yet to have any rot in a deck or transom I've done, even many years later. [/QUOTE]
