Teak deck

[newinlet]

Hello. I think I would like to install a teak deck and top rails on my 37c.
I am considering a product called plas-teak or at least I think that is what is called . Anybody ever install this product in the cockpit ? if so about what was the cost and most important how is it holding up !

Thanks. Jim Stone

There has been lots of previous discussion here about pvc "teak" decking. Here is one somewhat recent thread: http://www.samsmarine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12642&highlight=synthetic+teak

The PO installed Plas-teak on my aft deck and bridge. It holds up well and you can clean it with acetone if you spill any paint, varnish, etc. on it. The only issue we have is that it is a dark brown color and the bridge gets very hot when it is in the sun. Our solution was to buy some small pieces of light colored outdoor carpet which we put down when we are up on the bridge.
