Thanks McGillicuddy...I like teak! It can be a pain to keep up,but it looks good.

I would think that if the spray rails on this boat are as old as the boat that most of the natural oils are gone.Anyway,it certainly could be sanded,epoxied and painted.I would hesitate on using AwlGrip or Alexseal only because 2/3's of the spray rail will be under water on a 20.I made rails out of fir on a 20 I did last year and bottom painted the boat including the spray rails and it looked pretty good.
