Planning on doing repair work when I get back from deployment next year since the boat won't be going in the water. Typical water damaged areas, floor, shelf, bulkhead. Previous owner put high gloss varnish on everything, which I hate,and would like to remove. Any thoughts on stripping areas not needing repair and then blending in with new repaired areas and is it teak plywood they used back in 1984? Last, the white finish on the plywood used in head and next to small sink is peeling off everywhere. Any ideas on refininishing those areas especially in the head? Thanks, Randy Church Iraq

interior finishing
One thing to notice if you haven't already. Some of the interior may be photographed wood grain. If you try to sand it of course you just screwed it all up. I know cause I did it. I have a 78 Hunter 30 and ran into that. What I did was purchased a few sheet of Mag Veneer, and laid everything over. Water proofed it all with Aceatone and West Marine Epoxy,( 50 50 mix) Then went over it with poly. Turned out very nice. The poly on the teak pieces, like draw fronts, trim, pressure post, turned dark, and the mag was much lighter. got a two tone effect, turned out great. I'm about to start on a new sole. I want to mimic the teak n holly look with Lowes or Home Depot hardwood flooring. Will be much better quality, cheaper and look better. I've done a test area and its very nice...

Vinyl and adhesive glue
I had the same issue with the thin laminate peeling off the plywood. Vinyl is flexable enough so it can be cut and fit perfectly with utility knife and scissors. I used 3M adhesive glue. Spray it on the wood, then the vinyl and then mate the two. For the vinyl I actually used a flooring vinyl. I used paper to make a template and then just transferred to the vinyl.
