I want to fit teak decks to my 37ft aluminum sailboat. Does anyone

I thought that with aluminum it would be quite strong if I drilled

from
underneath - the fasteners should really only be required until the

bedding
compound sets.

Any thoughts? Thanks

I wouldn't drill holes in your deck. I would glue marine grade ply wood
to the deck and then screw the teak deck to the ply wood. This is the
method used on large yachts.
