Mahogany is ok, but its a little light. You are probably definitely going to want to put a finish on mahogany. I would check out your local marine shops. They have plenty of products for that sort of stuff. Maybe a two part finish will be the most durable.

I think teak is running for around 20-25 bucks a board foot right now, rediculous. You can also look in junk yards for old boats. teak swimsteps or railings can always be re-milled. Teak lasts forever so even if it looks crappy, you can mill it and make it brand new again.
