    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?

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

    Regards

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

    If not, is it still accessable to do that?
