The admiral and myself are*still actively looking at boats -*houseboats, trawlers and now some motor yachts have entered the picture.
Given our budget and what we feel we need in the way of size, we both really liked the 42' Carvers. What we are budgeted for (once our sailboat sells) will be a 42 Carver - mid 1980's. Most of the ones we looked at have teak decks.
Question: Is there a point at which teak decks became less of a problem due to different ways of installation or are they still drilled and screwed to the deck with the inevitable leaking/rotting deck delaminations?
