I know one thing for sure, my 1987 Angler (fiberglass boat) had white chaulk dust all over it when left uncovered for a season. When i waxed/polished it(every eason) my wax rags were covered in the material. The white dust was the fiberglass coating breaking down from the suns UV rays. The sun will break down everything over time. I own a 2006 190 bay and experienced no signs of material breakdown this past season. Common sense has to say some treatment and covering goes a long way.
Use a uv blocker and cover the boat when not in use. I believe we should have no problems.
My old Angler also had Teake wood. What a pain in the rump that stuff was!
Give me Composite material anyday of the week!
Also check out some of the new Deck material. Composite is taking over the pressure treated wood market. I have to believe some of these composites are the same material.
Good luck selecting a boat.
