I am putting an electric motor on my Kayak. I need to build a spidery bracket to mount the motor on. I want to use a 2x6 or so for a mount. I am putting a 28# thrust Minn-Kota on a 12.5" Cobra. I will use it for fishing. I am looking forward to getting it done and playing with it. It should move out pretty good!
Which kind of wood would be the best for use where it will probably get wet a lot? Redwood? Teak? Mohogany? Treated wood? Fir? I would probably need about 2x6x8, so could pick it up at an exotic wood place, or just common stuff at HD.
TIA
Steve
