[QUOTE="Ictalurus, post: 256073, member: 2983"] I strongly advise staying away from using pressure treated wood where it will make contact with your hull. The chemicals used to treat the wood will have bad reaction with aluminum and cause corrosion/pitting. Cheaper and easier to replace the bunks when needed than fix the boat. You may be able to get away with PT wood if you use bunk slicks, but that is up to you. The trailer looks great =D> =D> Did you spray it on? As far as your decking, you may be able to reinforce the area where your seat base will go by adding a 1'x1'x3/4" ply or aluminum under the seat base. I too had to give up some storage space with the low deck, but managed to make an area that will hold a net and paddle under the low deck. This is going to be a sweet mod =D> [/QUOTE]
