can I replace my deck one board at a time???

Call me crazy, but I wonder if I can replace my deteriorating PT deck piecemeal over the summer. I was going to buy ipe, store it in the garage and then as time permits, pull up several old boards and nail down several ipe replacements every evening. Anyone see any problems with this idea.

I understand ipe is much heavier than PT. Would there be a chance my joists would not be sufficient for it? Any recommendations how to tell?
