Teak Deck Removal

"If not, how do you go about laying in the new core? "

No way you can walk on the interior covering .

These are NOT "cored " boats in the conventional sense , they are a plywood deck with a slathering og GRP on one side and frequently formica inside.

If the core rot is minor it is frequently replaced , but if large areas are shot , the best course seems to be to ignore it and simply lay up a new deck over the old one.

Shovel off the teak, lay up 1/4 inch of new glass , insert a cheap core like Nadiacore , and glass the top.

Great workmanship?, lay on patterned no skid , rough ? grind and install sand paint.

When the moisture stops getting into the old oly , the wood will dry up and the smell will go away.
