New teak cockpit on 53

Readers love this stuff. Thanks Sigarn. Please be sure to reduce pics to 800 pixels or less. Remember, some of our friends on YF might be on satnav. Best not to use up their bandwidth with large images.

I reduced the size of your pics above.

What was the cost of it?

Look's great! Can't wait to see the finished pics!

Does costs really matter??? If the owner wants that look/style on his boat, that is his business.

I was asking for a round about price because I have another owner thinking of putting teak in his cockpit, and it's nice to know the price in different area's of the country. If it's a bit less than the price down here in South Florida, he could just stop in NC on the way down from up North and have the work done.

That makes sense.

I know a person who always asks me what stuff costs every time I do something to the boat, car, truck, house, etc.. It's not like he is going to do what I'm doing but always wants to know.

Thanks for sharing the pricing to go along with the pics, nice information to have for those planning on similar work.

If your cockpit is about 100 sq ft., that's about $140/sf plus the extras you mentioned.

Amazing job! Looks great.

Great looking cockpit! Looking forward to seeing the covering boards. It will add a great look to your Post!

Looks great..

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

But a quick question from a layman (and maybe just a bit laze one at that): I've had teak on several of my smaller boats and hated when I had to refinish them. But that was many, many, many years ago. Is this coated with a finish that either eliminates the maintenance or extends its look for years?

Generally teak decks are simply cleaned every month or two with water and a product (some people even use cascade or ammonia) and a light scrubbing

But doesn't the teak then loos its luster - the rich look and fad?

that is fantastic!

Understood. And the look greatly improved the overall appearance.
