RE: Teak swim platform re-do

It depends on how and what you are gong to use the swim platform for.* If you are going to use*it*to get on/enter the boat then you*might want it to*keep in nice looking to give a*good first impression.* In the Summer we*get on and enter*from the swim platform, so our teak swim step has high gloss varnish o it, but the platform has slots*which helps on the footing.* Every year I apply several new coats of varnish.*

Since the back deck is enclosed it also have high gloss varnish on it.* Most people are really impressed with our swim Platform and*stern back deck.* Fist impression are very important.* WOW, them from the start.*
