Looks great! I'm back and forth on removing all my teak, love the look, but always seem too busy to keep it up. A lot of mine is looking like old lady toenails right now. Might give the cetol a try.

Looks great!
I am a no Fuss guy!! I removed all my teak on the last two boats and replaced with starboard. I like the look of teak but not the upkeep!

We had an 87 V. I don't remember having large square pieces of teak like your boat. Where do the large square pieces go?

You know, I wondered what those pieces were for a while... then my wife's uncle told me on the maiden voyage that they were seats for either side of the engine cover (got the boat from her grandfather). i don't have a picture with them in, but here's a pic of the support rails on either side to hold them. When it's all finished, I'll post pics of it all setup.

So I just got around to finishing the last round of the first coat of Sikkens. Wow, the difference in the color after coat 1... I took these pics of the swim platform - which is obviously in the sun 24/7 for almost 30 years,,, and the other of a seat that has been either covered or thrown in the cuddy for the same amount of time. Look at the difference!!! WOW!!

Quick update... nearing the end. This is the only piece I had to sand & oil on the boat. Ready to gloss all pieces before putting back on the boat.
Everything got 3 coats of Sikkens Cetol Natural Teak. Now for a quick coat or two of Cetol Marine Gloss!

Do not paint any teak that you step on, it's too slick.
I'm surprised y'all like cetol so well, I pretty much hate the crap, it's yellow, it peels, & doesn't last very long in the sun. When I want a high gloss finish I use Epifanes, it's expensive but worth it. Just redid the teak in my project boat & used 3 coats of polyurethane, looks great, have to see how it holds up.

ive had good luck with ceatol, the two times ive used it. all about the prep. gotta sand down to pure wood getting rid of ALL of the old finish and gotta time your coats just like the directions say. thats what i was taught and thats what i did. came out nice and held up well. never used the gloss though
