I'm in the middle of this project. I was planning on doing the new
plywood/fake teak and holly thing, but last year something happened that
changed my mind. While doing a different project, I spilled some acetone on
a floorboard that caused the varnish to peel. I decided to fix that one
board for the season. I took it home, stripped the old varnish, scrubbed it
with some oxylic (sp.) acid/water solution, let it dry, lightly sanded,
sealed the bottom and ends with West System, and covered the surface with
two coats of Minwax satin varnish. It's not perfect, but it looks so good
that I have abandoned my original plan and am going to restore all the other
boards in the same manner.

I managed to salvage the teak and holly floor on my boat with a bunch of
sanding and then revarnishing. I glued the plywood back together where it
was delaminating near the edge and ended up sanding through the the holly
stops near a few edges where it was in rough shape but it still looks pretty
good and has been very functional. Depending on how bad it is you might
want to try just salvaging what is there.
