tGood Morning Jay:
I've not used the bed liner product, but I've met some that have and they seemed pleased. It sounds like a good alternative.
Other products that I've heard good results from are latex based products. West Marine used to sell one which also had a rubbery non-slip product in it and my neighbor that used it said it sealed up his deck leaks.
Of coarse, a thin sheet of plywood, nailed down and covered with epoxy and glass will work well, especially if the end grain is coated with glass and epoxy in a manner that is compatible with the construction of the boat.
Please note that I included glass in the above recommendation. Epoxy, without glass, is like making a cement driveway without re-bar.
Hope this helps,

Rudy-- Sorry it took me so long to respond. I was out of town. I joined the trawler list so I could learn all I could about trawlers. This past business year has taken me away from purchasing a trawler and I am doomed to fix up a 1965 Trojan woodie that I inheireted. She has teak foredecks that are in need of work. I don't want to spend much money to seal the deck for a boat of this value. I have looked into a resin product covered by a polymer. Someone on the list told me of a person who used truck bed liner material. Each would probably work and just keep the weather out of the cabin. I just don't want to spend $500 bucks on a $100 boat. You know what I mean? Anyway, if you have a cheap alternative, I'd listen.

I am looking for inexpensive suggestions to repair the teak decks on my
boat. Is there any way to just sand and cover it up with some sort of
paint? Or do I have to remove the entire deck. Any suggestions/products
would be appreciated.
