Getting rid of the wood

That is simply a gorgeous boat, Fly, *I don't regret not having much bare trim on my boat's exterior, but I sure appreciate it when I see it. *Rather not take care of it though.

Some Of the Starboard trim replacing the wood.

I gotta say - that Starboard looks perfectly acceptable to me.* First, I'm going with no more refinishing. Light scuffing and seawater rinse for maintenance.* If the black plague overtakes my teak, then the synthetics will be used to replace it.

Hey, those Scotch-Brite pads work great.* I just started hitting the areas where the varnish is flaking off.* Sure, it doesn't look nearly as nice as a glass smooth, glossy finish, but it doesn't look all that bad either.

I did notice that much of the finish is still pristine in those places where it's always in the shadow cast by the 3 story boat docked in the next slip.
