I asked a decking question the other day and got some great ideas. Went to Lowes today fully intending to use aluminum for the supports and then checked prices and put a hold on that idea. To do the boat the way I want, it would take a lot of aluminum and more money then I want to spend. I started looking around and looked at the composite balusters used for outdoor deck rails. They have a no rot guarantee and seem a lot more sturdy than a regular 2x2. On the negative side, they are heavier than the 2x2. The weight issue doesn't bother me as much because I have a 91 30 hp mariner pushing my 1648. Just wanted to know if any of you guys had used this and what you thought of the idea?
By the way, the balusters look like this and they are selling a box of 16 31 inch ones for 35 dollars. That would be more than enough to build the supports for the front and back
