>> Has anyone removed the teak toe rails and resealed the hull deck

>>
>> Is it a big job to remove the teak toe rails?
>>
>>
>>
>> Do you use 3m 5200 to reseal the deck or something else?
>>
>>
>>
>> Was it possible to rebolt the deck with SS 1/4" machine screws or do
> you
>> have to use Aluminum or SS rivets in some places?
>>
>>
>>
>> I have a variety of leaks mostly along the hull deck joint, some from

> screws
>> that hold down the teak toe rails. Some of the leaks are in the vee
>> berth and eventually find their way into the bunks and others in the
>> salon cupboards.
>>
>>
>>
>> I have sailed the boat for at least 6 years and would like to fix the
>> leaks once and for all...
>>
>>
>>
>> The deck is a light blue color, badly faded and is in need of a paint
>> job.
>>
>> The non skid is not too bad but in areas on the vertical surfaces

>> the coach roof you can see worn areas showing a black substance in the
>> worn gelcoat.
>>
>>
>>
>> The boat yard folks have suggested at 36 years perhaps an overhaul is
>> finally needed and suggested Awlgrip on the hull and deck. One
>> suggestion was to roll and tip Awlgrip on the deck and spray the hull.
>>
>>
>>
>> The deck requires some repair in some of the stantion areas.
>>
>> I built a plastic bow shaped shed (34' by 14') to house the boat for
>> this project with fluorescent lights inside.
>>
>>
>>
>> Sometimes I think I may be about to bite of more than I can chew on
> this
>> one...
>>
>>
>>
>> I am thinking of removing all the deck hardware, windows etc and
>> replacing the windows with tinted ones.
>>

>>
>> Any suggestions and feedback would be greatly appreciated.
