Replacement glued teak deck

[jamesjle]

Does anyone have recent experience of replacing a glued teak deck on a good
quality fiberglass yacht. Any observations on cost and pitfalls would be very welcome. Thankyou

We had various quotes for our 55ft boat which is both glued and has screws and they all were in the $30-40,000 range.

In Cartagena 2 carpenters spent 5 weeks taking up the deck, taking the teak to the shop and re-cutting the groves, re-laying the teak with Sikaflex, placing almost 2,000 screws and plugs and finally sanding the deck.

Total cost $4,000 including all materials and not the $40,000 they wanted in Trinidad.

Many thanks, I imagine there are going to be huge variations round the world,mainly cost of labor

Cost of completely replacing teak deck on 45 ft boat in Thailand--$4500. Old deck was glued and screwed, and had to be taken off in tiny pieces with a chisel.
