Once you've weighed the cost, it comes down to what you prefer.
If you like the look and feel of teak decks, and you don't mind a
little additional work, go for it! If you don't like that sort of
thing, there's a world of fiberglass decks just waiting for you.

Very true, and I agree wholeheartedly with your comments. I think if
you luck out or have the knowledge to preserve/repair/maintain a teak
deck, it's a Good Thing. But most don't, and don't have the time to
add to the already long list of Boat Stuff We Must Get To Before
Actually Sailing....

Maybe the solution is to learn how to INSTALL a teck deck, and then do
it yourself. At least then the blame and the credit fall where they
should G
