Has anyone ever used the composite decking material (plastic wood-like stuff) on their boat?<br /><br />I could use PT or marine ply for this but...<br /><br />I have an area between the bow and middle seat that I am considering using this stuff on. I would have one joist amidships and two hinged pieces 2.5' by 4' that would open fore and aft resting on the joist and my hard chines. The front piece would have my seat pedestal on it and batteries under. I would probably use SS rods and epoxy to join the 5.5" widths instead of stringers on the back.<br /><br />Other than weight, I can't see any drawbacks, but am interested to know from your collective experience what would be best.<br /><br />Oh...14' hand layed FG semiV w/18hp tohatsu<br /><br />Thanks in advance.
