[Rhodes22-list] Plasteak Hatch Boards

[Rob S.]

The current issue of Good Old Boat magazine contains a destructive lab test of 
grab rails made of teak vs. Trex.   Apparently Trex now comes in several 
different colors, one of which is pretty close to new teak.   (and it's $37 for 
a 2x4 at Home Depot) 


It held nearly as well as the Teak, although it bent more.   And apparently you 
can epoxy it together to make panels.    From 20 feet it looks like teak 
according to the article and the pictures.

-Rob

One of the vendors at the Annapolis Boat Show was promoting a teak
substitute material.  I think it is some sort of synthetic look alike.
His material was displayed in a cute little 19ish foot boat that looked
like a Rhodes 19.  I will try to find out what the material was and let
you know. Might be an alternate to marine plywood.

It is hard to find good veneered marine plywood these days.  My original
hatch boards from Stan lasted 15 years.  They were plywood with an oak
or
teak looking plastic veneer.  The replacements I had made were teak
veneer
and lasted 2 years.

Stan now uses all plastic for his hatch boards.  Stan's plastic looks
like
plastic, but I like the woody look.

Plasteak, using recycled plastic, makes SeaRay OEM floor boards for the
cabin soles.  They also provide aftermarket replacements for all SeaRay
exterior teak.

These hatch boards were $215.  Contact Jennifer Littlebear who handles
custom work at http://plasteak.com/osc/contact_us.php.
