Hello everybody,
I have a 1986 Grady White Seafarer with wood trim. I have a few questions and would greatly appreciate any and all suggestions given to me regarding the wood on my boat.
1. What type of wood (shown in the pictures below) was used for the trim? Was it originally coated with teak? I only ask this because it looks as if the previous owner tried to varnish it and it doesn't look too appealing.
2. Can anybody tell me, by the photos below, what would be the best way to "approach" this wood as a winter project? Should I sand it down and apply teak oil or should I try Varnish or some sort of Urethane? I plan on removing the wood, section by section into my workshop to work on it the next few months (winter project)
3. The wall that separates the cabin and the cockpit is some sort of laminate and is blistering. What is this and is there a way to replace it? Please help - any info is greatly appreciated.
