Timber for deck beams

[Anthonyexmouth]

Installing a smaller engine in my Cygnus 19 and this might be the time to raise the deck slightly to give me a flush deck. I've traditionally used Douglas fir for deck beams in the past but with timber prices being a bit all over the place has anyone got an alternative?

I used sapele a long time ago. Have a chat with Devon Hardwoods?
