I love the lok of teak!! I think when kept good it adds to the Beauty of any boat!
That said I riped every piece out o my boat and replaced with Starboard for easy cleaning! I comercial fish in my boat 4 days a week, and by the end of the week my wife and everyone for 300 feet near my boat complains of the smell

Except the flies, they were so thick last year I could not figure out what a black spot on the boat was? It was like 100 flies on each others back eatting something??
Thats when the bleach comes out and every thing gets scrubed!!:toun:
