[QUOTE="ceejkay, post: 46200, member: 613"] i did wood for the same reason you are questioning it. wood you have more lee-way but quite a bit heavier. i used wood and my next jon i will use aluminum. wood if you leave it outside in the weather you have to worry about rot. aluminum you have to worry about corrosion(white powder/residue) bit if you prep it for the long haul you will be okay. same for wood as far as prepping for the long haul, but the weight of what ever you use will be greater. also how you fish is gonna play a role. i personally feel more comfortable standing on the left front of the boat(any boat) so i reinforced that side a little bit more due to wear and tear. hope this helps [/QUOTE]
