After 15 years, I had my teak decks replaced in Thailand for $4500 (45 ft boat). The old decks were both screwed and glued with sikaflex. After they took about 1000 screws out, they had to chisel off the glued teak. The glue joint was still so strong that the biggest piece they were able to get off was about the size of a clothespin.
The new decks were put down with sikaflex and no screws--6 years later they still look great, and there is absolutely no sign of glue failure anywhere.
