While checking out a
boat I am seriously considering, we noticed the caulk between the
teak deck looked like it was dried out and cracking. Although maybe cosmetic, it is noticeable, although not yet downright ugly.
The decking itself is glued on, not screwed. This 53 ft.
boat was built in 1998.
The
broker just showed me a
survey done about a year ago for
insurance where the
surveyor noted the same thing. His recommendation was to "reef out and re-caulk. He also noted the
teak was "still fairly adhered to the deck".
How hard of a job is it to re-caulk a
teak deck? Is it something I should want to tackle? How expensive is it to have done and where on the
East Coast would be the most cost effective place to do it?
