60 second boat survey (Ep32): Teak deck maintenance fail!

Findings and nuggets of knowledge from a typical boat marine survey. Today’s episode: Teak deck overlay in need of a little love. There are only two types of boat owners with old teak decks like this - those that have leaks, and those that don't know they have leaks!

My boat was stuck in Florida for a few too many years. Because of sickness , previous owner . The teak decks got burnt and leaked like hell . So its fiberglassed now

That’s a lot of potential damage. I will stick with my 40 something old 16 foot check mate. With a 125 evinrude. Built for speed and agility.😂
