[QUOTE=BruceK;517768]As to teak decks,they can be a problem,costly to fix. Common fix is removal of the teak planking, repair of the substrate deck, followed by a layer of fibreglass and paint. If they leak, the fuel tanks can get rusty, especially on top. But the decks can be ok, so careful inspection is good. Look for missing/separated caulk, missing plugs, "cupped" planks, signs of water migrating to the house, internal timber water damage or marking. QUOTE]

Pay attention to very relevant issue - old teak decks. Bruce K is spot on.
