My 88 model has the teak sliders which require attention from time to time, but I like the look of wood. The newer boats come with UV stabilized UHMWPE.

My old 74 has badly weathered teak with what looks like formed Formica strips below the hatch flanges - presumably as wear strips. I would like to replace the teak and Formica strips with aluminium or some other material that is easy to maintain. I am also wondering what is used on newer boats as I understand that most of the teak trim was dropped over the years.

If you retired back in the early 80s you might even be older than Stan! :) Good story. I assume you have a motor now.
