Delayed report on Teak redo...
Did not want to clean and oil my teak again. It didn't last very long, as you all know. So, I took Bushwacker's advise and went with the epiphanes varnish, ran everything through a planer due to the excessive graining from age, sanded the edges smooth and varnished away. BTW, I made the under gunwale rod holders out of brazilian teak. The console rod holders, rear hatches and console strip are original to the boat.
I used a piece of Ipe as a spacer for the top portion of the console RH so the rods wouldn't hit the grab rail. Very pleased with the epiphanes product. 7 coats!
