re: Alternative Swim Platform Materials

Have you considered Ipe, also known as Pau Lope? It is a tropical hardwood from South America used most often here for decking. It weathers to a nice gray/silver like untreated teak. Our 2005 deck looks great. I also used it as a backer to mount the fishfinder on the Mako.
