Kap, there's a Revesta Teak oil here, it works great as the wood sucks it and looks great. There's also a teak sealer to apply after.

Kap, I'd pay you good money for one of those scraps if we were on the same rock.
While on the topic, does anyone local have any old scraps big enough to reproduce the L trim piece in the 88's? |

I should have told you to make two, one for the idea man. looks cool. I can't wait to see it with a few coats of varnish. Could Marty miniturize some graphics for you? Then you will just need a tiny little chrome bow eye to hook a key chain to.

Carve a mini correct craft replica for your key chain.

Hey Kap. is there a good piece of teak left? I could use some small pieces for my teak step pad missing steaks.
Gonna call you tomorrow. Planning on going to B.A. later this month. |

hey..any good creative idea to do with the scrap pieces I have? apart from the board of the pictures I have some of the top boards, one in complete lenght, and the other 2 in pieces..
I really don´t think using it as firewood as a nice ending for teak... |

who knows..anyway if it was another wood it lasted some 11 years..at least thats when I bought the boat.
I will try shots from another angle...but I´m sure it´s teak. Not that I care..but if it wasn´t, the guy who fixed it now for me would have noted that also... |

Kap, It's always hard to tell from pictures but to me, the rotted pieces do not look like Teak. The grain (pores) isn't open like Teak is. I've got a feeling a PO did do some work on it!! |

Well, it's probably a happy accident that you discovered the bad wood now then.
This could have very easily resulted in a "Hottie Overboard!" situation

It must be the water and different aquadic organisms down there!
Kap, Are you sure the rotten pieces were Teak? |

You just spent thousands of dollars rebuilding the motor and replacing stringers on that boat, use that piece of firewood to stoke up your next asado and put a platform on that boat that you will be proud of. Get one made locally, that's pretty basic carpentry, got to be someone down there that can build a nice one for you. Post pictures of your boat babes oiling it down.

I'd replace all the broken wood with new and screw it. Should be a fairly easy fix. Good thing you got a strong transom!

Kap,
Not much sticks to Teak because of it's oil content. Some of the polyurethanes do work (Sika) but I suggest just screwing it back together as done originally. |

only problem is the 3rd board is missing a big chunck, the rest is there...
I thinking in replacing #2 and #3 boards... I will go tomorrow to the shipyard and see...on the adhesive thing what is the one to use in this case? At least the lower frame is intact!!! |

Damn Kap, that was a shot!
That looks repairable from here. A carefully glued joint is often stronger than the material and you might add a few screws to reinforce it. Maybe your friend has some scrap you could make plugs from? |
