    For the restauration of our 60 fth trawler Tara
    we consider to use Silverballi for decking and plancking.
    There's quite some information in several databanks
    but we would like to hear the stories from the practice.
    If you have any experiences with Silverballi,
    please let us know.

    Taracrew.

    Silver Bali is extremely resilient to rot. It's a very dense wood and makes excellent planking material for wood boats, but I don't know how well it would wear on decks, i.e., sandability or stain removal.
