Thanks for your thoughts but I am looking for another type of wood as
a substitute for teak. I have seen some of the plastic teak deck
replacements at boat shows and can't say that it was love at first
sight.

This may or may not be of interest to you, depending on whether you're
looking for a substitute of teak for deck material or not.
The magazine "Dockside California Edition" had a good review article in
their March 2005 issue of alternative deck materials. I can't find the
article on their online archive, but I can probably email you a scan if
you need it.
The materials they review a flexiteek, lonseal, tek-dek, and
marinedeck 2000.
