    Default boat repair question


    I am trying to replace the plywood in the rear of my 14 foot jon boat. All the articles online say to use marine plywood. Does anyone know where i can find that in the jackson/pearl area?

    I used 1/2" pressure treated plywood. Used the old one as a pattern. Cut 2 pieces that size, the third not as tall. Added a larger/thicker sheet of aluminum. It comes in 4x8 sheets, may find a 4x4 sheet. Home Depot offers 2 cuts free. So get the widths cut there. Use stainless bolts, nuts and washers.

    I read all the posts on different websites as well about how pressure treated will have a reaction with the aluminum. I used pt and have not had any of the problems I had read about.

    But when I replaced my bunks I used pine and painted it with Thompson water seal. Figured it gets wet a lot more often....
