A friend of mine just removed the teak from the cockpit and gunnells of his 63 ft Bertram sporty. It was a typicall laid teak deck, 3/4 inch planking. Had I been available I would have removed it just for the teak !!. What he found was that the decking added quite a bit to the structure of the deck, after removal it was a little "springy". the solution was to 'glass in a 3/4 inch thick layer of Coosa board (I think thats what it was) then a layer of 'glass on that. He's not done yet but it looks good and is just as stiff as original.
