[QUOTE="SlimeTime, post: 46222, member: 651"] I'll stick with wood for a number of reasons, cost being a main one. Also, you aren't going to save a tremendous amount of weight if you use 2X2's (rather than 2X4's). Unless you use aluminum decking, it's going to still eventually rot. So when you replace it all, you have the option of changing the floorplan, not so easily done with aluminum. Plus, if your boat gets struck by lightning, you're insulated :mrgreen: ST [/QUOTE]
