Fang Posted June 20, 2011 Report Posted June 20, 2011 Looking for a source to buy real 3/4 inch marine plywood around Oakville. I have some deck hatches on my booat that need replacing and when I went to look was told all I will find is green pressure treated at Home Depot. I always believed that the green plywood does not have the lamination strength or tightness to compare to real marine playwood. I guess it would do in a pinch but looking for the right stuff. Thanks guys
fishnsled Posted June 20, 2011 Report Posted June 20, 2011 NEVER USE pressure treated wood in an aluminum boat. The chemicals will corrode the aluminum. So but I can't help with a source for the marine grade in your area.

So but I can't help with a source for the marine grade in your area. Exactly, don't use common pressure treated lumber due to a copper, aluminium reaction. http://www.canada.co...f1-97cf362d841d

Fang Posted June 20, 2011 Author Report Posted June 20, 2011 Thanks guys for the input. I tried West Marine a while back for a different project (console) and they told me they didn't stock it in that store but since they moved I haven't been back in. Will be driving by there tonight on my way to the ball park. At the same time I'll check if they have marine carpet but I'm afraid of the price they want.
Rizzo Posted June 20, 2011 Report Posted June 20, 2011 Wow glad I'm reading this. On the cottage tinny I just built up my transom with a 2x6 pressure treated on the week-end. The PT just sits on top of the old transom (aluminum) and is held in place with some heavy steel brackets. I'm back up in July, looks like I'll need to find something else..assuming it hasn't rotted the end off my boat by then
solopaddler Posted June 20, 2011 Report Posted June 20, 2011 give exotic woods a call in burlington. Or Robert Bury Beat me to it. Exotic Woods is where I bought the marine plywood for my boat.
solopaddler Posted June 20, 2011 Report Posted June 20, 2011 On a side note I've seen plenty of aluminum boat decks built with pressure treated with zero issues. Covered with carpet how would it be anyway? The deck I replaced was built with pressure treated. It was still in decent shape and 9 years old.
vinnimon Posted June 20, 2011 Report Posted June 20, 2011 Another place is ontario plywood, at barton and centennial in hamilton. A little pricey but I didnt have to go too far for it.
SlowPoke Posted June 20, 2011 Report Posted June 20, 2011 Another place is ontario plywood, at barton and centennial in hamilton. A little pricey but I didnt have to go too far for it. That's where I got mine. $120 4x8x3/4 if I recall correctly.
vinnimon Posted June 20, 2011 Report Posted June 20, 2011 That's where I got mine. $120 4x8x3/4 if I recall correctly. It was 120 then 2 weeks later it shot up to 145$ a sheet.
Canuck Posted June 21, 2011 Report Posted June 21, 2011 X2 on Noah's in Etobicoke. Its just off Islington near QEW so not far. They have everything you need including resin, glass, fasteners, etc.
