Re: Runners for deck

If you are talking about "trex" plastic composite..... not good for marine applications due to flex.

Re: Runners for deck

my cousin has had her trex deck replaced twice since it began to mold - it is a deck that butts a pool. it claims to be an application safe for wet decks - but I would be cautious and read the fine print.

ps - welcome to iboats
