Teak?

[GREYLOCK]

does anybody know where I can find some replacement pieces of teak for my 240 offshore?
most of the original pieces are in great condition which I have refinished and a few times in the past but two of the long pieces along the gunwales have cracked and one is broken.
I like the look of the teak and don't mind the task of refinishing it every couple of years.

I have the same boat, 1987 model. Had same problem yrs. ago, went to local boat builder who suggested using mahogany instead. Can't remember the price of teak at that time, but it convinced me to try the mahogany. I bought a length of 2 by, ripped the size needed and finished. Occasionally would have to replace becaused of breakage as did the teak. It's not teak, it's close, but neither is the price.

If you can work with wood here is a source of teak.

Ipe and Jatoba will work and look like teak if you find those easier to get.
