I finally decided it was time to clean up the ice box covers. All in it took almost 2 weeks, and about 15-20 hours but the end result was very satisfying! Here’s a 3 minute video time-lapse: First Step, starting the project. I took home the small cover and started getting an idea of what I...

Hi all, I am a new super happy owner of an E38-200 (from 1990) and I am reaching out for your help. I bought the boat in overall great condition, but I need to put new cabin sole. The problem I have is that there is no old sole on the boat (It was taken out and trashed), so I do not have...

I've been seeking plastic suppliers for deck hardware bases. This site also has lots good stuff for instrument panels, engine panel covers, etc. A helpful site: https://www.tapplastics.com/product/plastics/cut_to_size_plastic I've also been looking for some exotic woods for a few small...

I recently purchased an 1979 Ericson 30-2. The main teak table is missing its fold-out extension. The table is the kind that folds back up against the cabin bulkhead. I will probably have to mill/build a new one but just in case, I thought I would ask here if anybody had such an extension (or...

…is looking pretty sad. What's the quickest, easiest way to deal with it so that I don't have more problems later? Sand off the varnish then sand it smooth and apply tung oil? Is it safe to assume it's teak? I don't much care how it looks. It just has to function and not deteriorate...

After a recommendation from a marina neighbor we placed an order with WEBER PLYWOOD & LUMBER CO in Tustin. The order for teak veneer somehow got lost but they will remedy that by UPS shipping it to us for delivery on Monday. The 3/4" 4x8 sheets of teak plywood (bookfold one side, plugged on...

One more question....experiences and advice requested.... I have heard of some people refinishing teak by applying a thinned epoxy resin to the teak, and varnishing or Sikkens on top of the epoxy. The thought being that the epoxy will seal the wood from moisture, and give great wear...

Hi all, I have a sliding hatch from an E-32 that I’m interesting in selling. I bought it from a friend that was parting out a E32 and I thought it might fit my E-29 or be relatively easy to cut down to fit. After receiving it, and taking a hard look at it—I will clearly not fit, and the cut...

I recall seeing a post(s) in mid to late 2007 regarding replacing the faux teak trim inserted around the inside perimeter of the hatchs but for the life of me I can't seem to get the search function to find them. As I recall someone had, or was getting, a goodly amount of this trim (in...

Aloha, I want to buy two teak 90 degree outside corners (trim) for my '79 E-35. I think the radius is about 1.5 inches (for the chart table and the sink counter edges). If you have any for sale, or know a supplier please email me at: dcapn@hotmail.com

Thinking about replacing the panel where my CD player is mounted above the chart table. Where are you guys buying your teak plywood from?

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...

What is the thickness of the existing sole on our boats, 1/4. 1/2. 3/4. Is the sole the standard 2-1/4 teak and 1/4 holly? It there a supplier that you would recommend? Thanks in advance

Our hardwood dealer tells us that because of an embargo on Burma teak is now up to $30/bd-foot. I sympathize with the embargo but that sure hurts. -Sven

Has anyone replaced the teak plywood around the fixed port lights in the main salon? Im not sure if it's glued in or secured by the moulding and ports.

I am retrimming the companionway, and have removed all existing trim revealing the open seam between the deck and interior liner around the perimiter of the companionway. I believe Seth and other of the experts here have recommended the trim which holds the teak hatchboards in place should be...

I have noticed that the teak and holly flooring on my E-28 could use a little "sprucing up" (no pun intended). It's not bad, just showing a little wear. Also it seems the softness of the teak has allowed a little bit of sand to get embedded into it in places or could I have not noticed before...

anyone have or know where i can get some scrap teak and holly flooring (other than ebay)? Just enuff to replace the bilge plates fore and aft of the mast in an e34.
