I've heard people that tried the composite say they weren't rigid enough. I used treated 2x4s that I capped with 1x4 PVC boards. On top of that, I then put plastic caps they make for bunk boards. Before I had jut the plasic caps on top of treated, and at every seam, my hull was being discolored by the treated wood chemicals leaching. |

I haven't heard any negatives from composite boards. |

I have my trailer set up like MNGunner. PT 2x4s with a PVC 1x4 cap. I dont have the slick caps on top of mine though. I put the wood grain pattern facing up figuring it was less surface area to grab and seemed more slick than the smooth side. Works great for me. |

If ur talking about the composite deck boards them suckers are kind of ruff almost like sand paper especially when wet for added foot traction lol I bet they would hold up but they make a board at lowes that is solid PVC its a 1/2" x 10"wide by 8 10 or 12 ft long it has a wood grain looking side to it but is solid plastic I put it on my trailer and it holds up awesome I just put treated 2x12 under it and bolted straight to the trailer Sent from my iPhone using |

I used some on a bass tracker years ago. The boards I used were 2 inches thick. They worked well and didn't have any effect on the bottom. They did sag after while. Took them off and ripped a 1 inch deep 1/8 " grove in or. Added a length on angle under it and it took out the sag |
