I have come to the realization that I should remove the teak decks on
my
fiberglass trawler. Good solid molded fiberglass decks underneath
the
teak.

The teak is good shape, but I do not want to chase all the little
leaks
for the rest of my life.

Anyone remove these things?

I've only seen one removal. They took a big scraper and scraped and
pried it off. I'm thinking of removing the 2000+ screws, one at a
time.

Anyone removed their teak decks?

You're going to have to patch screw 2000 holes in that fiberglass deck
underneath that teak. If it isn't non-skid now, (probably isn't) maybe
you could get away with filling all the holes and going over the works
wtih a non-skid layer.
