Saw this on Youtube and thought it might be of interest to some of the brothers...

My old man was just out in June for a week refinishing ours... I don't have a great 'before' shot, but you can see what they looked like here (I'm sure many of you are familiar with the classic American novel being read, The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog. We used SIKKENS Cetol Marine Wood Finish; I was hoping for more of a matte finish, but it certainly looks 150% better than it did:

Here's an 'after' shot:

Looks good!

Family shots are great. Boat looks nice! One comment - are you sure you want to read the kids the "Sharks" book that lies on the engine hatch given you are acclimating the kids to the wonders of the boat :)

Thanks guys- yeah, a friend brought the Sharks book along, not sure what his plan was there.

I love the way Worton Creek did the teak on Huntress... what do you suppose they finished these with?

[Bo Toepfer]

Worton Creek does fine work!

John Patnovick at Worton Creek almost certainly uses Tip Top Teak products. Most professionals do...

Thanks Capt. Pat; do you suppose that's Tip Top's Wood Oil-Sealer product? I'm a newbie to wood; this is the first boat I've owned with any wood accents, but I'd heard that oil collects dirt more easily, which led us down the SIKKENS path...

I love teak decks--and Wharton looks like a beautiful job--but I prefer hatches that are not pictured framed.

I saw a HUNTRESS in Brielle recently is that the same boat?

I love teak decks

Me too!... I'm just scared off by the (alleged?) maintenance...

I prefer hatches that are not pictured framed

I actually prefer the look of the picture frame hatches... I think there's also a functional argument in favor of the picture frame hatches... Something to do with them being less susceptible to damage when you open/close the hatch...
