The right question is why not, when bare GRP decks are functionally superior to anything else.
But you already answered this question when you said that you like how wooden decks look.
Which is OK, as long as you're aware that it's a form over function choice, which you'll regret on the first day of sunshine, when walking on a synthetic deck (or also natural teak, for that matter!) barefoot.
And as I said, there are also other drawbacks - it will just take you a bit longer to find out.
The boats im looking at would look unfinished without decking. GRP may look ok on a 20 footer but not on a Manhattan 55
It just looks horrible
