face=arial,helvetica><FONT size=2>Dear Bill. <BR><BR>The piece of teak I
have is shaped like a milled piece of lumber. It's 2" x <BR>16".
The former owner gave me the wood as he was planning to replace the
<BR>stern piece himself; he just never got around to it. He actually
had a <BR>cardboard pattern tacked to the wood, but the guy who is
refinishing all my <BR>deck wood is hestitant to have it cut by that pattern
because it has many <BR>odd markings on it, i.e. up arrows, down
arrows, etc. We don't want to cut <BR>the wood and find that it
doesn't fit. <BR><BR>Some of the other information I have received
from other owners includes: <BR><BR>Dwalker@cemcocpa.com (Dan Walker) :
the stern piece is actually three <BR>layers, one on top of the other
mitered and fit together. I saw a "younger" <BR>boat and its
stern piece had spacers between the deck and the top piece which <BR>was
cheaper and allowed for water drainage off the stern. This would be
<BR>cheaper but not as nice to look at. <BR><BR>I have no idea that this
will be helpful information, but it's all I have. <BR>Any thoughts
you might have on replacement would be appreciated. I wish I <BR>had
the old teak the former owner took off the boat so I would not be at such
<BR>a disadvantage in replacing it. <BR><BR>Sincerely,
