The boards that cover the wells in the floor of my boat hull #174 were teak veneer plywood. They were looking pretty tired but when I removed them, with the intent of refinishing, I found that 2 of them had de-laminated. The furtherest aft where the cooler sits was the worst.
My solution was to replace all 7 pieces with new mahogany plywood.
The lumber yard told me that neither the teak or mahogany was marine grade or even exterior.
So mine got 2 coats of Spar varnish with no skid in the second coat on the topsides.
They look GREAT.
1/2 sheet of 1/2" mahogany cost about $40 in my neck of the woods. Teak would have been more than double that.
Also someone on this board recommended pressure washing the mouse fur on the interior walls. After trying mildew remover, carpet cleaner and elbow grease I decided to give it a try on the forward cabin and it looks as good as new. Thank who ever you were!
