Like to share some pictures of my newly made Teak Platform for my Nautique -78.
Made from 100x30mm teak "planks". Glued and screwed. Cheers!

Thanks,
I understand what you mean 69Mustang, 
I'm a bit nervous about the glue+teak. But it will prob hold together beacause I also screwd every plank from the underside. I try to post some more pics when it's mounted on the Nautique. 
Bye for now, /Johan |

Johan, It sure looks better than one you could purchase!
The only glue I would trust with the oily teak is a moisture cure polyurethane. I know Sika makes several and I do think they are based in your country. What glue did you use? |

Yes, I've heard of that glue. But I also heard that newly sanded/planed planks could be glued with "regular" epoxy. I hope so...
It seems that it has glued toghether fairly good, test peaces rips away "chunks" of wood when I hammered it apart. But that's the reason I drilled+screwed it as well. Here's a pic of the brackets, made in "regular" non-corrosive stainless steel that I will paint with epoxiprimer before mounting. 
Just one last worry, I will mount with through going bolts in the stern. Could this harm the stern? I will also use large peaces of steel plates on the "inside" of the stern to make the pressure go over a larger area. |

Beautiful Deck! I'm sure it will be fine judging by the way you have it fastened together. Very nice job! That will last forever!
I've actually had success using "Gorilla Glue" on a potion of my platform that was abused by previous owner. |

Walt, Gorilla glue is a moisture cure polyurethane. Great stuff but way over priced. Next time you need glue, try Elmers Ultimate. Same stuff but less $.

shouldn't be an issue thru bolting just be carefull on the two outter braces and the lower mounting hole's you might not be able to thru bolt then as they maybe to low. this is the way mine are there are lag screws in those to hole's. This was all done by the PO so you might be able to take some measurement to make sure they will go thru without hitting anything.

Looks great. I am a wood working during the winter and can appreciate quality. One word of advice - be carefull of cross grain joints were two pieces of wood join together with perpendicular grain. When you heavily glue and screw/nail then they will split. Although I am not experienced with teak (other than on my boat) other wood will defiently split due to shrinking and expansion. I believe our steps are put together with bolts that run the width of the platform to hold everything together with not so much runners and screws/glue. I may be wrong but don't be suprised if you get a little splitting. You can combat this by sealing every inch of surface area and keeping it well sealed. By the way I use to be a big fan of Gorrilla Glue (polyurethane) untill a recent article in a leading trade mag. did a test on all the different types of glue and poly came out dead last, even to the yellow generic elmers carpenter glue you find. You did a good thing by going with epoxy.
