[QUOTE="mbullen, post: 518541, member: 24594"] The danger of treated wood is in the treatment. All treated woods use a metal as a preservative...copper, zinc, arsenic, etc. Dissimilar metals (contact with the boat's aluminum) lead to galvanic corrosion. It happens at different rates due to the presence/absence of an electrolyte (polarity and salts) but it happens nonetheless. I can wax poetic about the chemical processes if needed, but in general, it's best to simply avoid treated woods. [/QUOTE]
