A friend removed the teak deck on his Force 50. Once he got the teak off he
found large sections of rot in the plywood core.
Short (very) version is he cut out the rotted wood, epoxied in new and
covered with glass and epoxy resin, laid out drain lines with tape, non
skidded the rest and then painted the works.
Keep in mind the Force 50 is a Taiwanese boat and the core plywood was crap
to begin with. You may get by with epoxiing about a million screw holes and
not have a rot issue. You'll probably still need to glass the deck as the
layer above the core is usually thin (I believe).

Anyone done this? How did you do it?

I'm sitting here in the rain thinking about it.

Depending on the type of bedding compound used, you might find a heat
gun useful.

Take it off very carefully. Don't damage a single piece. Tie it up
in neat bundles. I'll provide the shipping address when you get it
done.

TIP: If you will screw a regular wood screw into each bung it will
lift it out of the bung hole as the screw you insert makes contact
with the screw holding the teak to the deck. This way I'll get nice
clean bung holes when you ship it to me.

Thanks.

Joe
