Marin, I am a regular reader of the T&T list but have never posted there; not real sure how the whole thing works with the list.* For me tecnology hit its peak with microwave burritos, I still use paper charts and, (even though I suck with it), a sextant. Sure I have a GPS but who trust those...

FF, Man I hope to be down in Fl about Nov this year.* I am retiring after 22 years 5 months and 14 days of the military, (but whos counting). There is still so much to do on the boat I have checklist to spell out checklist. I would be happy to but you a beer in Fla when I get there. I actually...

Gentlemen please disregard the above post, I ask the question again in the appropriate category. Sorry. * Kevin

Troy, What were your considerations when deciding to lay down another layer of glass on your decks after teak removal?* As stated elsewhere I am removing mine and didnt know if I needed to add another layer or not, the deck seems sound where I have removed the teak, I filled each screw hole...

OOOPs, I just posted this same question in a different thread this morning, I guess I should pay more attention.* Troy, did you ever find out anything about Decko Dot?* I am in the process of removing the teak on my boat as well, and you are right, it sucks.* Was seriously thinking about Decko...

RTF, I have actually thought about that, while looking and drinking, and that might be the best or easy way to go, that way I could get at it again if needed.* Mine is offset to port, so I would have to put the door behind the foward head, but this weekend I will for sure drink a beer and look...

Marin, The deck is a total of 1/4, some of the screw heads are flush with the face, I think I could re-groove and re-caulk, but resetting screws would be difficult.* With a bit stop and a lot of care they probably could be, but there wouldnt be much room for the bung to adhere, and not much...

I have a serious lust for a 49' Alaskan. I know of one in a marina that is rotting away, guy wont talk about selling it. Sure do love those boats.

Gentlemen, Thanks so much for your replies.* The water temp at the marina is down below 55 so plugging the thru-hull to change the ball valve will have to wait until spring. I guess I could accidentally bump my wife overboard and say "hey since your down there", but not sure I would get the...
