I was asked by someone to repair an old boat swim deck that was really beyond repair. After talking with him about his options, he opted for a new one. He agreed with my suggestions about the wood combinations of white oak and padauk (both being very water resistant). A few coats of spar varnish, and it was ready for the water!
