Wooden interior steps

[jrisenmay]

I am looking to upgrade my regular fiberglass interior steps to the wooden ones that were on some models. Anyone know who I can contact about that?

Might I suggest an alternate? Reface them with Lonseal or possibly Plasteak... no more issues with water damage, delamination or rot. The companionway on our boat was heavily water damaged, esp the wooden steps and the aftmost sole plates. Lonseal is a heavy-duty vinyl that looks all the world like the real thing... epoxied in place and it's bulletproof!

Might want to consider alternatives. Finish on wood deteriorates from exposure to sun thru sliding hatch and water exposure. I have refinished mine once. Also, wood tends to be slippery when wet, even with the non skid tape applied.

Did you try calling a dealer or Beneteau factory?
