Whatever you do don't use pressure treated with aluminum. It will eat your aluminum very quickly. I would use marine grade plywood with a sealer that it compatible with aluminum.

Good advice. I was unaware that there is a chemical reaction between the two. I have a piece of MDO (Medium Density Overlay) with the paper glued to one side. Its supposed to be marine grade, used on sign work a lot. I think some marine paint and primer and I'm good to go.
