One of my customers brought me a piece of expanded PVC board. I called the people that sell this stuff and they tell me that it is 100% waterproof board. The guy told me that water cannot penetrate it and you can paint it. The price for a 4x8 sheet is 89 bucks. It looks like starboard but it is not a polymer. It actually looks like it is foam filled kinda. My customer says he uses it in all of his boats. I am considering using this for my decks....it is surprisingly light. Has anyone used this product in a deck application. Since I am having a hard time finding sheet aluminum without freight involved I have begun looking for alternatives for my decks. My other choice is a product called Nylacore, which you have to use fiberglass mat and resin, but it is spendy and lots of work. Once it is installed it it bullet proof and very lightweight. Keep in mind I am not going for a super light boat....I just want to have rot proof decks for a saltwater environment. Any input would be appreciated.
