The wife and I have acquired our first useable boat. It is a 1987 Four Winns 190 Horizon that will need a little bit of help. My main concern right now is the condition of all the teak wood on the boat. It has a teak swim platform and a bunch of teak accent pieces. I have searched on here for others view on teak and I must say I am confused. The teak is very gray in color, and looks like dried up old wood. From what I have read most people here usually sand it down and then just coat it with oil. Then I have read some use a stain and a sealer to seal the wood from the water. I want to get the teak back to a deep dark color like it was when it was new. I also dont want to put anything on it that will make it slippery. My question is what way would you restore your teak wood? I want to know everyones opinion on what is good and what is bad.
