The Gougeon (WEST System) method doesn't leave the screws into the substrate, but I have yet to see an alternative to using screws for clamping the strips down. After the strips are stuck down, the screws are removed and the holes and the seams are filled with the goo of your choice. I recommend filling the holes with epoxy and the seams with Teak Decking Systems' SIS440 goo.

I agree with Jim on the WEST system, particularyly with using a
resiliant type of caulk between planks. I have a friend who used the
hard black carbon type WEST filler and he had problems when the wood
expanded and contracted and the hard black epoxy filler did not.

Also, keep in mind the WEST system requires using a very thin
plank....1/4" I think.
