Out of interest where was the water coming from, if not the decks.
For the OP, we replaced our main deck with like for like. Although the replacement was 12mm teak and I believe the original deck was 16mm. As Bruce mentioned some boats had a teak block sandwich and some foam,mine had the (mushy)'teak blocks' .
We did all the grunt work ourselves, and had a teak guy supply and lay the deck. Cost us about $12K from memory.It's not too bad a job as long as your previous owner had not stuck a part of the deck down with epoxy! That about triples the workload, on this I speak from experience.
