Kind of a generic question. Is there something specific to your model boat that requires some unique method?

Or are you looking for sources of teak and holly?

I would start by learning if your sole is made of real boards or a veneer adhered to plywood, or some other material. I think the method would be different for each. OP should also know what the result should be. Does he want the same thing or something better?

It is a teak and holly veneer on thin board. Max 1/4 inch. Just want to replace with same. Catalina doesn’t seem to offer it. If I can’t get precut replacement pieces, then I need a source for the veneer so I can cut it. Thanks.

It was 3/8" teak and holly veneer on my boat, I went to the original supplier who advised me that they made "trim to fit" for the factory to account for differences in individual boats. If I brought my old ones in they could make them "exact fit", unfortunately when I did return the owne flooringr had passed away the night before and business closed.
I ordered a sheet of the teak and holly at > $350 and while waiting for it's arrival I made up some temporary ones using 3/8" engineered oak flooring. It's been a decade and I'm still using the temporary boards which are showing no wear and the $350 plywood is in storage.
