The sole in our 74' C&C 33 is solid teak (~three quarter thick by ~2 inch wide) floorboards. No Holly, just spaces between the teak and cross-members below all morticed to keep the overall thickness consistent. It is original to the boat. Looked like hell when we bought her. 2-part teak cleaner and a lot of coats of tongue oil (yes tongue oil) and they still look like new after a season of hard use. Very sturdy and durable design but not as aesthetically pleasing as T&H. Would probably be relatively easy to fabricate. Makes it easy to see what you have in the bilge, too.

It is comprised of horizontal floors and covered by 3/4 inch teak and holly. This is very likely the same as many C&Cs. To date I can source 1/2 inch Teak and Holly locally but there is no stock and no known reorder date for 3/4 inch. The two sources in Halifax are East Coast Specialty Hardwood who have 1/4 and 1/2 inch in stock and are out of stock on 3/4 and Halifax Specialty Hardwoods who only stock 1/4 and 1/2 inch. This leaves me to try one of three options: 1- Source out of town 3/4 T&H and pay for the shipping of a 78 lb piece of 4x8 plywood. 2- Use 1/2 inch in place of 3/4 3- Laminate 1/4 inch on top of 1/2 inch marine plywood. And the always available 4th option. Procrastinate and do this next year Does anyone have any thoughts on this or know of other suppliers near Halifax?
