Please explain to an old man just how; "a blend of Aluminum and
mahogany
' can be any more "strangely comfortable' than a Teak interior?


Thom, I didn't write that; Bob Perry did. Lots of people love the
Starck interior. It's regarded as one of the best Beneteau interiors
for quality. As for the aluminum and mahogany, we don't have that. We
have the more expensive version which is teak and has more wood. This
is a pic from our boat:

You can see that the wood by the steps was refinished without the high
gloss. The PO did this when he covered the steps with epoxy and
anti-skid. At 73 years old they were a bit much for him. There's hardly
a mark of any kind on the interior...not even a scratch. One section of
the sole was refinished and that's about it. The interior is a 99 out
of a 100.
