Not uncommon to spline/glue up....much more stable .. just have to match grain.. We rarely use a piece that wide unless it's absolutely necessary and it hardly ever is..

Tunawish... One of the guys in the building where I am working on my boat just bought a bunch of 14" wide 4/4 teak to make covering boards for a 1960 Merritt he is working on. Beautiful stuff.. no blemishes.. perfect! If he's got 14" wide stock 90% it will be Burmese....Very rare if we see anything...

About 18 months ago I had a local guy get me about 40 board feet of rough 5/4 teak at a price of about $21 per bf delivered to my house. I understand it is now about $25 to $30 per bf. I used some of it to build a teak sliding door and some to do the face framing and trim for the new cabinets I des...

$5k of Burmese Teak used to build Outdoor Kitchen we finished before winter. I wasn't to happy with grain of teak given cost but was the best from 2000 B/F I picked, It did even out the more it aged.. still better than the plantation teak I looked at but triple the cost, not sure it was worth it..

Wow .. what a difference after being rigged out.......

Does anyone else think that only 3 bolts holding the seat post down is a little weak..?
Especially sitting on that bump out...?? I would think the forces on that extension will be brutal in heavy seas..

Beautiful though..

Bob,

Before you choose the led lights, ask to see if they offer the new warm color that's been available.. Some companies have finally started offering it and it's a nice look compared to the blueish glare that's been associated with LED's in the past...

Raybo, you used lexan, other than cost why not a tempered glass

1/4" or thicker..??

Bertramp do you have a pic of that ??? All that I've seen was flush mounted in a bead of sealant..

Ray

tunawish

Has the correct procedure and best material to use for putting glass in the hatch been discussed already??

I would like to know best sealant and glass type .. and how do you deal with the crown.. I can't remember if the top of the hatch is flat... the boat is about 100 miles from me...

Thanks

Mike, Your right about the tools and that's the first thing they said when I called them, But I had them look up the invoice.. I had ordered 6 sets of SS philips tips from them with the order..

Vic, Just make sure the hardware is not being produced in China. I've found out the hard way recently from 2 suppliers I've used for 15+ years.
