Dave, I redid all my original floorboards on my boat about 13 years ago. I did it exactly the way that Graham describes. Hopefully to add a bit more, I used the better part of two full sheets of teak/holly plywood. I put two coats of West epoxy on first to seal everything (it didn't…) and then started applying coat after coat of varnish (gloss, will probably go with satin next time) until I had about 10-12 coats total. I did all of this before the cuts.
After making the cutouts for access to the bilge I routed out both sides back and used lengths of solid teak, ripped to 1/4 width, 3/4 height to face each side of raw plywood. Glue and tacked. Makes a nice finishing touch. I can provide pictures if you'd like Unfortunately, because of flooding and general humidity/wet bilge I have to redo this project… Cheers, Dave 1982 C&C 37 - "Ronin" On Feb 1, 2013, at 6:24 PM, Joel Aronson wrote: > Great idea! > > Joel > Sent from my iPad > > On Feb 1, 2013, at 6:15 PM, Graham Collins <cnclistforw...@hotmail.com> wrote: > >> I pulled mine, used them as templates.
