Looking at Marine Traders from the 80s. Personally, the less wood to maintain, the better. But everything comes down to price. What percent discount would you pay for a teak deck boat compared to an identical version with fiberglass?

If you told the OP what the PO spent on the job it would be helpful. Otherwise it`s just a boast about your boat that helps no one. Except you,perhaps.I lucked out in my recent buy of a 1982 Marine Trader 34DC. All of the teak decks were removed and replaced with FG by Maine craftsmen! Best craftmen in usa for boat work.
