    Anyone know how the Ericson factory treated the interior wood

    My 1972 E35-2 interior wood is in need of retreating. Does anyone know if the factory- Varnished? Teak oiled? Or something else? If oiled, you can’t varnish on top of that. If varnished you can’t oil on top of that. And I honestly can’t tell looking at it. Years ago with a E25 cabin hatch I...

    E23-2 Big Plans - Little Boat

    Hi all, I recently got my hands on a 1976 Ericson 23. I’m really excited to get some projects going on the thing. I have some general questions before I get started and would really appreciate some feedback. To begin, what kind of wood is in the interior? I’m not totally sure if it’s teak or...

    E30-2 Interior refit/repair

    Took on a bigger project than I bargained for. The initial reason was water damaged/rotted sidewalls and some damage to the headliner in the main cabin. Figured it would be no big deal to replace the wood and rebuild the headliner. Not exactly the case. Things I've learned: 1. Multi-tool...

    interior cabin wood panels

    I am considering replacing the wood panels attached to the sides of the cabin housing which surround the ports, as they are pretty rotted in places, but it appears they are fiberglassed to the hull. Has anyone done this before? thanks Neal E38

    Teak ply for interior work - marine grade ?

    There is some interior joinery in our future as we turn Senta II into our world cruiser. Some of that work will be plywood rather that solid teak, for obvious reasons. When I built a small speedboat as a kid I built it out of marine grade plywood, but that was the actual hull, not interior...

    Interior Cushion Upholstery Material

    The V-Berth and quarterberth cushions on my 1984 E-28+ have had it with splits in them. The thing is I love the material. It is a dark (but lighter than Navy) blue with white dots. I think it is Ericson original since I've seen this same pattern on Ericsons of that vintage listed on...

    What finish can I use on the interior?

    If you read my prior post you will see the Regalus had a small leak from a cockpit drain hose. There was one through hull hose already replaced which may have let in way to much water at one time. It looks like Regalus may have had about 7 inches of water in the cabin at one time. There is a...
