Sub floor

I am putting a sub floor in a TDB Classic and I don't want to use wood for the stringers. I noticed on a post on this site that someone used pvc tubing. Talking to my local Hone Depot they said PVC will breakdown under cold temperatures , my question is what type of plastic material would be best to use ? The floor is 3/8 marine plywood.
 
Possibly trex or some other similar composite decking material. Ripped down and squared on a table saw might be a viable water resistant option and definitely stronger than pvc in the cold

wouldn't the pvc serve simply as a mold to put a buttload of fiberglass/resin on?

I'd go with properly sealed wood or trex I guess if you're insistent on spending the money
