Hello,

I have recently purchased commander hull #274 from fellow forum member Stephan. While the boat is in solid shape all around, there are some cosmetic repairs that I would like to perform. Has anybody ever used or considered the use of Trex as a replacement for the coamings? Although it isn't quite as beautiful as a nicely finished piece of mahogany, I feel like its resistance to moisture, rot and splintering make it a possible candidate as a replacement.

For those of you who don't know what it is....
