Not the same PT wood you could buy at your local lumber yard, HD or Lowes. Its kiln dried after treatment which elimiates the PT chemical wetness and weight which helps keep it from warping as it dries.

I figured it was different, but I thought the treated has some corrosive properties that would harm the Al.?

What is available to most of us is corrosive to aluminum.

There is another PT treatment that isnt, dont recall the abbreviation or what it stands for, but SC is probably using it, and its kiln dried.

For advice, online, in a boating forum

No, dont use PT, its corrosive to aluminum

Is a safe bet to prevent problems
