Aluminum boat seats

Hi all,

I have an old Starcraft 14' aluminum rowboat with three
flat wooden seats. The seats are old, rotting out, I
need to replace them. They are just pieces of 1"x12".

I'm wondering what type of wood to use, the guy I bought
it from said he had replaced them years ago with teak.

Anyone know what type of wood to use? Teak a good idea?
Maybe just a piece of pine?

Thanks,
Julien

The teak would cost more then the boat is worth.
Doug fir would be fine.

Red or white cedar is well regarded for use near water.
