Hi I am in the process of replacing the teak ply in my sailboat
interior and was wondering if anyone has used any other type of floor
such as engineered or solid wood? What would the downside be to using
this type of material.

The only downside I can see to using different construction materials on a
boat is the (remote) possibility of offsetting displacement if the weight is
too little or too much more than standard. But that's mostly theoretical,
unless you want to line your sole with lead.
