What Will I Do With All My Spare Time - Semco Convert

[markpj23]

Last November we faced a lot of flaking varnish on our Taiwan built Med Yacht. Loved the teak but there were not enough hours in our day to do it justice. Hired a crew to sand everything down and applied Semco clear teak sealer. Was less than impressed with the way it looked compared to a good coat of varnish ...... but it was uniform and the teak was protected.
Fast forward to yesterday when I had to 'refresh' the teak. Simple wipe-on of 2 coats and it's back to looking fresh again. No sanding involved - yes there IS a Santa Claus!
Wondered for a moment what I would do with all my free time now. Then I reminded myself - "oh yeah - it's a boat.."
Not affiliated - just glad I made the switch to decent looking teak and low maintenance!

I'm in about the same place except i only have to remove some varnish on 1 side. I was with someone in NC who used Semco on his boat, but he used a color coat.

This will probably be my approach this year now that we are done the Loop and will probably stay above the Norfolk area on the Chesapeake Bay.

Where are you located? Location will probably dictate how well the Semco holds up, but it was looking great in New Bern.

We live in Michigan so the season is shorter but on our last boat we switched to Semco and loved it. So much easier.
