Do the newer aluminum boats still have wood in them?

I believe this was a problem with older ones. Anyone know if the newer aluminums still have wood floors and storage lids and all that good stuff.

Crestliner has the same problem, at least through '06.

Sum1, most of the AL boats still use wood in the floors/transom.

That suprises the hell out of me. I would have thought by now they would have come up with a better alternative. Wood and boats just don't mix. Had a fifteen year old aluminum that was always tarped at all times when not in use and stored indoors in the winter and the floor and storage lids still rotted out.

If they didn't have wood, they would last forever. That's a piss poor business model.

Yeah, 'cause the manufacturers who construct boats completely out of fiberglass are suffering.
