replaced decking now need to cover it.

I have just finished replacing the wood decking on my deck boat.
It had carpet on it before, someone suggested I use some kind of cool decking to cover it instead of carpet.
Any suggests on material to use would be appreciated or if I should go back with carpet.

Real wood? Or ply?

Donīt deck it with carpet anyway, that is a perfect moisture trap and ruined you r former wood already.

Did you paint the underside? Or better encapsulate in Epoxy?

If not, is it still accessable to do that?
