IMHO you never clear a teak deck… I have had two boats that came with cleared decks and they both looked very bad. I had to strip them down to bare teak and start over. Now I just put new oil on mine every off season, it is no big deal. Hopefully your clear stays on and you don’t have any problems with it.

Yeah I have no idea how it is going to turn out. I'll keep you informed

Please do...the PO of my boat stained and sealed my swim deck. It looks great and is fairly durable, but can be slippery. Stripping it down seems like it is going to be a fairly major pain.

I finished with the clear coat on the platform and throttle knob. Took it out last night and it was great. Wasn't nearly as slippery as the old stain. I used a pretty thick clear coat and it gave it a nice texture.







And i took the advice from above and put a piece of pipe insulation on the handrail thati had left over from making my trampoline board

looking good.

Boat looks great and you did really well on the price. Enjoy it this summer! I'm currently boatless and going through withdrawals. I get the shakes every sunny weekend morning when I wake up.

Added some engine dividers. Bought some composite decking and installed it by using dowell rods. Pretty easy.

Finished my cup holder project today! Thanks to deal age for all the great info. I was able to mount three on the driver side of the boat without cutting into the seat bottom. On the left side of the boat I had to cut a hole into the seat bottom in order to make it work. Worth it!

Love this project. I'm wondering if the shelves on my '99 SAN are the same. It seems like I would have to cut the wall of the seat bases to make this happen. Do the bottoms of the cup holders fit inside the bases without cutting them up (besides the middle-port one)? Also, when removing that little shelf wall, is it carpeted under it?

[Brichter14]

They fit in all of them except the port middle one. The port front one needed trimmed a bit in the back wall of the seat base also. Just get a drimmel with cutting but and go to town.

Also, when removing that little shelf wall, is it carpeted under it?

No you just peel the carpet off and the shelf wall is held in by some staples. You can pry it up and take it off pretty easy. The carpet will just overlap about two inches on the bottom of the shelf

The cupholders look great man! you will like having them! I use mine all the time.

Finished the engine dividers. Should be ready for ballast now. Also finished my enclosed kick panel sub box. Sub is on order.

Have you test fit the enclosure yet? In my 97 i have a heater and there is no way that enclosure would fit with the kick plate in the stock location. I am building a box right now, hopefully finishing it wednesday but i had to move my kick plate forward 7 inches to clear my heater. I also have my heater tubes mounted in my kick plate. Curious to see how it works out! Boat looks good so far!

[Brichter14]

Yeah it fits but I gotta move some of the wires and gas lines over slightly. I don't have a heater so no problems there. Sub should be here by fri. I will get pics then
