Re: Cal 33-2 Cabin sole wood options ??

Shell lumber in Miami, Fl

Thank you for all the feedback. Since posting I did find this site and their prices seem reasonable. Shipping adds quite a bit to the cost. https://www.marine-plywood.us/teakandholly.htm I am going to do this job myself. I am a capable carpenter. I did get a quote from our boat yard, due to time. I already have lots of projects going. But after their quote I decided I would definitely do this job myself. They quoted me $4400 just for the labor and then another $1100 or so for materials. I felt they were very high on the labor. And I maybe a little high on materials. They stated $80 per hour, $4400 total labor and total job was around $5500. I guess he planned to saunter back and forth to the boat or something. Also charge me for varnish drying time or something. I just don't see this being a 55 hour job. And if it is, I'm not paying someone $80 per hour.

One of the big reasons I got Teak and Holly is that you don't have to varnish it. And the reason I didn't want to varnish it is that it is not slippery when wet. That is the reason that Holly is used, it is a light good that does not get dark if it gets wet. The reason that teak is used is that the wood has natural oils and does not need a finish to protect it. If I kept up with the oiling, it would look better so if I cared how it looked I would wash it, lightly sand it, and re-oil. I think varnishing teak is a crime against nature but everyone does it. So, before you spend days and hours putting 8 coats of varnish on, consider leaving it natural.
