[QUOTE="Johny25, post: 260738, member: 7791"] It has been out longer than 10 yrs. But that is about when I started using it for decking docks and decks on houses. It has its purpose for sure but in a boat I am not convinced of. Composite decking is made up of several materials including plastics. When compressed together it becomes very dense, heavy and somewhat brittle. It is also not cheap compared to wood and usually is on the order of 50% more expensive than typical wood. There is an aluminum decking that I have seen that interlocks with itself and is supposedly water tight but I have never worked with it. [/QUOTE]
