The admiral hates this smell. Every trawler we looked at had this smell. Is there a way to reduce or eliminate using some other product?
Are you sure it's not the fiberglas? That smell lingers long after construction.

Get a bottle of Orange Glo and see how she feels about it. We stopped using teak oil many years ago and boy do we have teak!..........
Is it possible the admiral isn't fond of boating?
Linseed and Tong oil contain linolenic acids which do not smell like diesel and/ or typical oil products. They do smell like wood putty, linoleum, and some caulking products. You should be able to tell if your teak has been treated with these type of coatings (most are).

Interesting. I've never before been aware of teak smelling like oil. Cedar has a distinct smell, but teak? Do others find that it smells?
Is it possible the boats smell of diesel? That seems very probably on older boats.

Your teak doesn't look oiled at all. It looks varnished or urethaned in that picture.
Yes it is coated by the factory in 1985 but we use the Orange Glo to clean it and freshen it up. Have a few items (racks, stands, new trim and holders) that I have made over the years, they blend right in.....
Yes, the interior looked great. Only not enough coke storage (soft drink).
