[QUOTE="handyandy, post: 431159, member: 18942"] I knew the treated lumber directly on aluminum or with carpet since the carpet would hold moisture between the two would corrode it, but I figured the trek decking will act as a good barrier between the wood and aluminum to prevent any corrosion. Time will tell I figured the pressure treated would last longer and with the trek between corrosion shouldn't be any more of an issue than usual. I thought about welding in some bracing to tie into the existing knee brace but the aluminum tubing I used to extend the transom is 3/16 thick and seemed plenty strong without it. I had the boat out this past weekend on a local lake and down around the falls of the ohio/mcalpine lock and dam fishing, and it didn't flex or give at all. We will see if needs more bracing I'll weld some in. So far so good though. [/QUOTE]
