There have been many redecking jobs on older Nauticats, considering they've been building them since the 1960's and still going strong. After forty or so years, when the teak has worn thin - the ONLY option with a Nauticat is too replace the decking with teak. Doing otherwise will seriously lessen the resale value.

Of course, with solid fiberglass decks under the screwed & bunged planks, there's no risk of water intrusion, or rotting balsa, since coring dosen't exist.
