I Restored a Classic Boat and Installed a Teak Deck

Boat restoration, boat maintenance and boat repair!
My Girlfriends First Reaction to Our Refurbished Teak Deck on our Boat!

After months of hard work, Maria finally sees our newly renovated boat for the first time! Will she love the changes, or will she have some unexpected feedback?

We’ve made some BIG upgrades, including a brand-new teak deck—but how does it feel underfoot? Maria puts it to the ultimate test by walking barefoot! Plus, we take a closer look at:

✅ The new safety railing around the aft deck—does it meet our expectations?
✅ The renovated doors—what’s changed?
✅ Upgraded deck hatches—are they as functional as we hoped?
✅ Future plans—should we invest in wind vane (self steering), a larger bow platform, or new standing rigging?

At the end we are discussing problems and thoughts that Nauticat owners have, an giving our opinion on them. There is no true or false answer, but we discuss the different possible solutions and what we have chosen.

There’s always more to improve when it comes to boat renovations, but what should we prioritize next? Let us know your thoughts in the comments! 👇

Back on the boat, they are excited to show the brand new teak flooring that was installed! To really experience the boat deck, one of them goes barefoot to test how it feels. The new yacht deck looks great!
