Teak Replacement - Swim Platform

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Has anyone had to replace boards on their teak swim platform?  I backed the boat into my father's tractor and broke a couple boards on the back of the platform.  Are replacement boards available from correct craft or some other distributor or is my best bet to locate some teak and make new boards?

Thanks,

Mark

	Mark, I have a feeling that CC will not have the individual pieces. They may have the whole platform but I'd bet it won't be cheap. Find some teak and make the boards. Look for a hardwood lumber supply and call them. Teak is getting hard to get. One caution here. The new will not match the old in color. If it is important to you, you may end up using wood bleach (from a wood worker supply) to remove the color from both the old and the new. Teak cleaners that contain oxalic acid may work at "bleaching" the color out too. Then use one of the "golden" teak oils on both to put the color back in. Still may not be exact! You may end up rebuiding the complete platform! Ipe (iron wood) is a great alternate to the Teak. Some of our members have gone that route with very good results. I prefer the Interlux because I know it is a synthetic and won't support (feed) the growth of the black mold.
