Most Boat and Yacht flooring is usually Teak and Holly sole which takes a lot of abuse in foot traffic. It has a great look, and enhances the interior. On someboats or yachts, it is an option, but some boats come with the teak and holly sole as standard.

The main Boat supplies are sandpaper (220 grit) and varnish. You will have to decide if you want a satin or gloss finish on your...more
