I'm looking for a new to me boat and like everyone else in the world am leaning towards pontoons. It will be a secondary boat kept in the water and will see lots of rain, waves, some snow and even possibly a little ice.
My biggest concern is having a wood deck as the boat will be left out in the elements with only a storage cover, no roof or lift. I'm looking at boats about 15 years old and think an aluminum deck would be the way to go but I also know that some are composites (I don't know how they hold up?)
What manufactures make (or made 10-15 years ago) non wood deck pontoons? I know wood is fine on a boat that sits on a trailer but this boat won't have an easy life.
Thanks,
Stuart
