I think I read where composite did not have the strength of wood BUT it has been years since I read that.
Having aclimated to gatorbacks since 2016, carpet is epic fail to me. I removed the carpet from my bunks a day after loading and it was still fully saturated with water. once I installed the gatorback, the bunk and boat was dry after a 4mile commute home. I'm sure the wood was wet for days but the hull was not

Composites generally have less torsional strength than wood as they have no grain structure. Ergo, you would have to have bunk supports every 16 inches.
Personally I don’t think I have ever had bunks just rot out completely and as long as there is a product like gator backs I will be happy to go that route
