Move Over, Plywood

Forest River Marine is getting a makeover

February 2018 Feature Web Exclusive

Forest River Marine is giving its pontoons a cutting-edge makeover! This company partnered with Vixen Composites to create V-Lite Performance Decking, a lighter, longer-lasting alternative to traditional plywood.

This entirely synthetic decking is waterproof, bugproof, and formaldehyde-free with an impressively high strength-to-weight ratio. This means no more rotting, mildewing, swelling, or attacks from pests like termites or ants. V-Lite is also up to 50 percent lighter than plywood, lending these pontoons increased performance and fuel efficiency. The decking is even seamless, with each floor made from a single piece. V-Lite Performance Decking is now a standard on all Forest River Marine pontoons. Check out more benefits in the video below!
