So getting ready to sell the ranch and one of the tasks is to sell off boats I will not have room to store. I have a 1448 jon boat that I bought in 1998 I put a floor in it. It was 1/2" free treated plywood with carpet over it. I was expecting the worst when I removed the floor however there was no damage not a hint or corrosion. Added bonus the 9.9 evinrude that sat for years fired up and ran too.

treated plywood in 1998 used arsenic for an anti rot treatment. In 2008? that was banned in most areas and a copper based treatment was introduced.. The copper will cause the dissimilar metals to corrode
