Replacement teak for interior

[JD]

I am replacing several panels of teak where my ports are. Has anyone done this and found out how to match the other teak . Mine is a 1986 model .

I thought teak doesn't 'go bad'?
Clean it and be done with it.

To answer the question, I have NO idea how to R&R the wood.

Bare in mind that the wood is about an inch thick and it's not flat but rather follows the inside curve of the fiberglass cabin.

So the wood has to be pushed or pulled into shape and glued or bolted to the curve.
I think the wood is pretty thick only because the port holes don't stick outside the fiberglass very much. Almost flush.

My 'XL' CP-19 has ports that 'stick out' about an inch, so the fiberglass liner is about 1/4 inch thick? There is no wood inside in this area.

I think this is a job for the factory [one time] and not a home project. Is the original wood cracked busted up?

skip.

JD,

I too am in the middle of replacing the teak panels as well.  You are going to destroy what is left of the 3/16" plywood panels when you remove them (they are not solid teak and the filler board behind the teak veneer is what rots. The panels are "bonded" directly to the fiberglass so the bonding agent (looks like rust-red 5200, and is just about that hard to remove) will need to be removed as well.

I wanted to go back with solid teak panels, so I bonded a set of 1/4" thick x 1-1/2" wide strips to the fiberglass and then did the same around the holes for the ports and then mounted 3" x 1/4" solid teak overlapping strips to this. I can post some pictures of where I am at in the process now if interested.  It's a pretty big job but do-able.

The biggest concern will be how you are going to tie the overhead area below the ports to the new panels.  I chose to redo this area as well and this proved to be the bigger job..... One things leads to another.

Good luck, and let me know how it goes.

JD,

Check out the thread here "Interior makeover" for some pictures of my results.

Hi:
I have some of the teak panels still in the parts boat that you are replacing. The ports had been removed awhile back so I don't know the condition of the teak panels.  I will take a look at them to see the condition they are in if your interested. Love the job Jimmy Young did on his walls around the ports !!!! Wish I had the time and patience.

Bruce,

Next time you are in the boat, I am still interested in any of the drawer assemblies that you might have, especially the ones you mentioned over the wet locker.

The teak panels in the v-berth and the ones below the port walls are easy to remove (somewhat) but the ones on the port walls, on Miss B. ('86 hull #50) were glued in place. Good luck getting them off in one piece.

Hi Captain Jim:
The panels around the windows are already off and laying on the benches. When I took out all the ports they came unglued. The enclosure above the hanging locker did not have any drawers in it, It looks factory, I'll take a picture of it and send it to you. I have no use for it, just pay for the shipping. I would be hesitant to post picture of what left of the boat. I ended cutting out the entire the stern to drag the motor out. If you stand in back of the boat you can see all the way into the front of the boat. I found a place to crush it in the spring, I just have to get it there and they charge $100 per thousand pounds. I figure what's left is about 3,000 lbs.

    Bruce,

     Can you not just take her to a dump?  The min charge where I am is 90 dollars then they charge after a certain weight.  I have left behind a seidelman 299, ranger 29 and a capri 25 just got dumped today. 

    For a wood source I have mentioned it before, East Teak in Donalds SC is a major supplier and handles just about any exotic wood, looks like a lumberyard with prison fencing!

Simple job..... The teak inside my 86 in teak plywood.
1. The ports leaked a  the years. The area under the ports is black.
2.I having the ports  Crome pated in Philadelphia  30 miles north, for 100 per port.
3. The ply teak panels are just stapled to a glued wood stringer
4, the fabric beading is also tacked to the ply teak ..... No sweat
Just probably gonna have to stain the new teak ply to match.
Thanks

Hi Josh:
The town dump where I live is full and we now truck our trash to a place 20 miles away. There are two locations that will take fiberglass in my area, one is in Taunton, MA and the other is in New Bedford, MA. They crush it up and charge $100 per thousand pounds. My problem is getting it there which will require a boat hauler, in the spring it will be gone.
Thanks

wow, just seems like such a high charge.  I know youll be happy to have it gone, being Ive done the same to a few other boats.

Captain Jim,
    Thanks for the info I will take that into consideration. I may try to bleach out the area first as it isn't that bad.
