RE: Removing teak deck planking

GB are one class, the usual TT had a really wide plank that had routed groves to look like individual planking.There were plugged in the shop to continue the look.

Frequently only 1/2 dozen screws would hold down a large plank, with just a dab of goop under some of the fastenings.

This construction allowed the build of GRP boats , and if the purchaser could be convinced a ton of teak on deck was a great ($2,000) idea the deck could be installed on a mostly finished boat.

I enjoyed a good cash flow from pulling down the interior and repairing the wiring where the deck screwes punctured the wiring.

I would get rid of the owner and convert the 12v DC current to AC with a bell ringer , sans the bell.

Then a simple current finder would let me know just where to chop a hole in the overhead..
