Thanks for the pics and update! Is that the original wood rubrail painted out or is that a replacement?
I am not 100% sure. I have not had to re-bed anything, so haven't really checked it out. There has been a lot of work done to this boat at some point, so it could go either way. Some paint repair is on the list for this fall / spring, so I might be able to tell you more then.
I used amazon teak oil on my Egg Harbor. Liked the look and ease of removal when necessary. I do not miss the chore of that teak at all! Any teak I have now is inside the cabin.
