i currently own a 14' boston whaler. i love it because it's light and fishes three guys pretty comfortably, due to it's wide hull. my project this winter is to put a "flatter" bottom in it (the current bottom has some dips and curves and a hard, LOUD surface when storing and running) and a bigger shelf up front for a pedestal seat.<br /><br />i'd like to say away from using treated lumber for the most part, because of the weight. besides aluminum, can anyone recomend any other materials to use? i was looking at that recycled plastic wood material they used for decks in some places, but it's at least as heavy as wood and almost twice as expensive.<br /><br />any advice is apreciated!
