Charlie-There is a teak and holly product made by Amtico that glues down in strips that you might look into.

Hi Charlie,

I am based in Sydney Australia and have spent a fair bit of time researching the product for use throughout my boat.

I have a friend that took his 40'er to Cairns to fish the marlin season living onboard for 4 months. They used it in the head and are very happy with the performance of it.

So far I have been convinced that it will be fine to use internally. Its easy stuff to lay, easy to keep clean and looks pretty good (you can have flexiteak send a sample out to you).

thanks

Charlie,
I have seen it demo before and seems to be a great product and is a sandable product to make it look new again. Not a inexpensive product, but what is if its a good. I went with Amtico over it because of price per sq ft. but looks great.

Flexi-teak was instaled on a boat I skippered two years ago. It was removed last year. It failed at the joints, every four inch or so. This was on cockpit of a 65 Hatteras sport fish in Seattle. Since then I have looked at more boats with it and found the same pattern.
