teak cockpit floors
a 45' cabo came in for engine service and i fell in love with the teakwork on the cockpit floor and covering boards. first of all i would like to point out the hatch lifts were the same as captain patrick makes but they were oval contoured like half a football . my real question is how did they attached the teak to the floor? there are no bungs or any other sighs of screws on the covering boards or teak and sole floor.this was done at the merrit boat works.

And those are the reason I build my own... Their welds are induction, (spot), welds and end up breaking. Look good in the poly pack, look good installed, not very pretty when the weld pops and the customer is pissed.Raybo Marine NY wrote:Epco makes hatch pulls similiar, not as fancy but easy to get and only about $14.

buju this looks like your work for anal people. i am sure you notice the covering board over the bait well/ trasom is one piece ,wow that is some plank . beautiful grain in teak .beam is 15' 9" so they really needed to caculate the boards going across deck to have them come out perfect full pland on both sides.i open one of the big hatches to see cross section. wood is full 1/2" thick.the epoxy looks to have some kind of additive.
robbie are those pulls oval or flat on top? are they 316 stainless?

Well, that's Merritt's for ya...buju this looks like your work for anal people. i am sure you notice the covering board over the bait well/ trasom is one piece ,wow that is some plank . beautiful grain in teak .beam is 15' 9" so they really needed to caculate the boards going across deck to have them come out perfect full pland on both sides.i open one of the big hatches to see cross section
That Cabo pit looks good, but it's not really popping my can. I can clearly see the quality is there in craftsmanship... but the boat, and it's lines... eiiggghhh.
Still gotta say the most incredible cockpit deck I've seen is that 61' Garlington I did the repairs & resurfacing on a year or so back... Incredible vessel.

Teak Cockpit
Stainless steel rub rail, cut to length, buff out the ends and edges (weld the SS threaded rod on the backside after cutting to length, this will give you something to hold to durring the buffing) add washers and add nuts with nylon bushings. Roy Merritt has been doing it for years.

If John or myself cutout the shapes we will use equipment that can be programmed and cut the shapes from plate or sheet......but you have other options....
the oval ones will actually be easier to make than the round ones....for small quantities just get some 1/8" flatbar your choice of width, use a scribe to radius the ends then it's up to you and a good belt sander....a band saw will reduce the belt sander time considerably. These are tools that should be readily available to most anybody that does what we all on this website do.
Some fab shops use cutters called Hogan or Jancey to drill holes. These cutters are really popular on mag base drills. Basically they are hole saws that do not drill a pilot hole. A 2-1/8" dia Jancey cutter will kick out about a 1-1/2" dia slug.....then again its up to you and a good belt sander.
Or just let one of us know what you need...........

That's funny Harry. They actually fish that boat hard. I was called back down to the boat about a month or two after completion, to re-oil everything. Man, she was all scraped up from a particularly hectic tuna bite out by Cay Sal Bank. Light sanding, and more oil was all it took to make her look great again.if it were mine I would keel haul the first SOB that brought cigar minnows on board
Damn right he could...So can Pat.( http://www.bertram31.com/proj/inlay/inlay-1.htm )lets not leave out randall he could carve a marlin in that teak!
I'm waiting to see when Randall is gonna carve something "bertram" like a solid teak bow chock, or a scale model of a B25 FB out of a chunk of wood.
