DIY Boat Flooring Replacement (Start to Finish) Ep-208
This week on Escapade, we continue rebuilding the port side of our saloon — and it’s finally time to tackle the flooring.
The old teak and holly had seen better days. After ripping everything out, we start fresh using three new sheets of teak and holly from World Panel Products. From templating and cutting to sanding and multiple coats of varnish, this job was a full process — and definitely not a quick one.
And when we finally step back for the reveal?
The new cabinetry paired with the fresh teak and holly completely transforms the space. Escapade honestly looks like a different boat.
If you’re into boat refits, DIY sailing projects, teak and holly flooring installs, or behind-the-scenes sailboat life — you’re in the right place.
