Teak Cockpit Table

Man, these things are expensive! Looking for garden-variety, fold up and fold out with hardware if possible. 9-1/2" spread on pedastal post.

My boat had the one from the West Marine catalog...$400 and a piece of junk...we finally used it to make plugs for the screw holes in the teak deck. We now have a lovely one made in Cartagena but with US labor rates a garden catalog and some homespun carpentry might work.

Nice idea but I have no place to build, no shop, no power tools, etc. But thanks.

If you want to take a Florida Vacation.... I have a great shop!

Seriously, teak is STUPID expensive these days, and custom work is too.... What budget are you looking at?

I could do $400 for the right setup. And thanks for the Florida invite. My boat is in Sint Maarten.

I found a guy online who handmade one for me to my specs. It was about 24 by 36 when fully opened. When folded up it has nice fiddle rails. I think he charged 225. Let me know if you want me to get his contact info. He's in Troup, TX.
