I absolutely will be showing final pics... you can see some of the teak work if you look through old threads. I've posted some from back in Feb/March I think.

Looks great man... Im almost finished with putting my boat back together again. What started as teak refinish, turned into rod box rehab, chrome and stainless steel polishing, wet sanding and compounding. I wanted to keep the original rod boxes (plus i'm being cheap!!) so I patched with marine...

Looks AWESOME!!!

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!

Wow... I have one of those - it's weird to read this while i am about to fix the eye hook that had a bolt rot away. I looked inside quickly to see that i'll need a new plate, hook and two bolts. The eye lifting ring and long bolt are solid but perhaps worth a better look inside, maybe they...

So I was messing around in the cuddy cleaning up and such, when I looked in side the compartment just in front of the anchor locker. The first thing I noticed is the angled steel plate that is bolted to the inside is severely rusted... then I noticed the end of a bolt with the nut screwed on...

Thanks man... this is part of the reason I'm not using it!

This is what I'm going with... except tinted battleship gray. And of course the beer... hahaaa! Thanks for the advice.

I am in the final stages of my restoration and have some questions on everyones favorites: Floor Paint - I like the battleship grey color that it is, so I guess I'm looking for brand suggestions Compound for Gel Coat restoration (I've heard 3M is good) Favorite wax/sealer for Gel Coat? Brand...

Bro, that looks fricken awesome~!!! I've been so busy with work I got delayed on my project a little... that makes me wanna take off work for the next week and get it done;) Hahaa... seriously though, you got a real nice looking boat man.

Good question!! I'm not sure if they're going to stay blue, not sold on it. Wife loves it.

Light Blue Rodbox So, here's a look at light blue. Thoughts?? (Teak in the picture has first coat of three)

Believe it or not, I used Cetol Marine Natural Teak... and all the pics have been taken after one of the three coats. I just got done sanding with 600 grit and fixin to blow out the second coat. Don't worry, I'll post plenty of pics! Very cool teak chest!!! I didn't bleach or use stripper, just...

Weathered teak versus sheltered teak 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...

I am having a hard time deciding what color to finish them with!! Here's a snapshot of old sitting side by side with the all white. HELP!!! What color?? I say the original tan, wife says off-white. They are semi-gloss white in the pic. Keep in mind I have light blue LED strips to illuminate...

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...

Thanks man... cant wait to post some more pics!

That's a great tip -- THANKS man!!

Did you gloss after the 3 coats? That's the one thing wife and I are back and forth over. To gloss, or not to gloss?
