Lookee what I found

[Domsz06]

I don't think mine is sealed. So Just some sanding, with say 800 grit? then come back and buff it? and oil? i have the oil and cleaner stuff.

This...alot of this...I sanded until the weathered stuff was gone.


+ this


+this


+ alot of this.....liberally applied......alot.....over a course of a few weekends.



And I don't know if it makes a difference or not, but my teak is not sealed treated or any of the other stuff I see sometimes. It is just raw natural wood. I think alot of you have a sealed teak, and then the board fins scrape the varnish or laquer off, so it looks awful.

sp,

have you posted how you got your teak looking that good? if so where is it, if not you should do a how to thread on it, I need to get mine looking that well again.

Thanks man.

Famous last words! In case you haven't figured it out yet, the fun never ends!

Dude....don't tempt me....I have to be done. I really want to redo the upholstery next Feb. or so, and get a seat that lets my back breath. I also need to see if I can locate another dash pod.

Looks GOOD SP! What a difference between the before and after!

I wish I could do the same with my trailer. Mine is showing its age for sure. It almost makes me wonder if it wasn't in salt water a couple of times. It is solid, but there is no way I could refirb it like you have. The Gulf Coast is such a harsh, humid environment.

WOW! That teak looks amazing.

Compared to what it used to look like especially. Wasn't someone asking about how well teak holds up? It took a lot of effort, but it came out nice. A couple of the boards are slightly warped, but considering; I think it looks goood.


I am hoping to get some on the water shots soon. Weather is going to be bad this weekend, so it may have to wait. A polishing is in order before then anyway. The next boat I get will have orange or yellow base hull. Water is too mineral rich around here.

Spharis, Looks fantastic.

SP - Boat looks killer. What a makeover.

As a Polk Audio dealer I can share that the db series, althouh an entry level product, does quite will for interior speakers in the boat. For Tower speakers, well, you probably know I'm Pro Audio for 4 years now.
Back to the Polks, the db series is the entry level driver, the Momo is the next (standard Equip in the recent Nauti's) and then the SR. The SR is so expensive (MSRP $899/pr) that even as a dealer I've not heard these. Probably better for a car then a boat.
Lastly, if you're going to do car audio on the tower, I support the 6x9 approach. I think Pioneer makes an incredible 5 way 6x9 worth considering. I don't normally support multi way drivers with other transducers mounted in front of the cone but they pull it off rather well consdering the challanges.
But like any speaker, listen in the approriate environment before you buy.

Yeah....I found those in the local Marine West....I had a pair of blingy chrome ones in my hand, and decided the $2.99 white ones were a better buy. I need to buy a battery, make some cables and RCAs, buy some amps, then install it all.....and finally I might be done until next spring!

Looking good SP, I like the white bilge vents.

[spharis]

And just in case you guys haven't seen....this is what it looked like when I bought it.

[spharis]

OK, I test fitted this afternoon, installed new brackets.....

Anyone need some skylon brackets?

[NICKYPOO]

Got the new Polks in. Sounds pretty good. I'm definitely pleased. The cabin speakers will continue to run off of the deck for now. It's a good thing I have an FAE.
