    Hey crew, I finally found and bought a Post 50. I will be traveling from NY to lauderdale over the next 6 month or so with no particular schedule. I am thinking about stopping in Carolinas somewhere until it get cold then head to lauderdale for winter. I would like to get a teak cockpit floor installed either in the Carolinas area or Florida and also have new interior carpet installed, the latter hopefully in Carolinas. Knowing I am open to schedule and locale if anyone has recommendations on carpet or teak I would appreciate the input. I know carpet is much easier and quicker than the teak job but if I could stop in OBX compared to Charleston for 6-12 weeks and get the jobs done I might as well. If i dont find anythign convenient in carolinas for teak I will just do it in FLL. I asked Yacht Mgmt for a quote but haven't heard back yet.

    For teak you would have to be at a yachting center. Florida will have the most available suppliers. ObX is way too remote. Beaufort NC will have some suppliers. I think teak is running $100-$130sqft installed. Ouch!

    Beaufort, one of my favorite ports of call, is a good place to lay up and to get work done.

    Jarrett Bay in Beaufort

    Merritt's or Teak Decking Systems in FLL.

    Karl Allen of Riptide Boatworks does warranty work for Viking and I think Jarrett Bay. His work is top notch and he is a honest person who has met every schedule. He is in ‘Wilmington, which up the river is a very good Hurricane hole
