This is what we used when we had our dock built 4 years ago:

It still looks great after 4 years in the Florida sun. It does
require closer spacing on the stringers however. I was ready to go
with wood decking until I saw the WeatherBest at a neighbors.
Ours is installed with stainless steel, square drive screws. They
have a small head which recesses into the deck when driven and become
almost invisible
What kind of research did you do when you picked this brand? Did you
check CR?

I checked with our dock builder to see what they thought. They are
well known around here and would not have installed it if they were
aware of any negatives. They picked up on the requirement for closer
stringer placement but other than that were OK with it. Fortunately
the dock had not yet been framed.

Nice looking deck, it is a great accessory for your boat.

More like an accessory for the house, mandatory requirement in my
case. One nice thing about buying a house without a dock is that you
get to build what you want. We're very happy with the way it turned
out.

How do you handle hull maintenance (cleaning) on the GB? Do you perform it
yourself or hire a diver?
I recall having to do it on a monthly basis down there on the Navigator.

I have a diver clean the bottom about once a month. It loads up
pretty quickly this time of year when the water temp is in the upper
80s.
