White Oak is not porous, it is/was used in ship building. White Oak is more expensive than Red.

I looked 'Oak' up to learn & where I started wondering types because it kept listing Oak & Red Oak. I see bed wood kits from Mar-K just ID it as Oak. Trying to determine what does doesn't work.
It seems the Oak fairs weather better & is 'harder' vs other options. It's just a truck bed so Pine would work to for that matter but multiple online/vendor/sources had kits listing Oak as the material. It won't be a show queen. It's a 20-footer.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
