Nauticat 37 deck material

[Jim Pask]

Would anyone know what the deck lay up is on a Nauticat 37 ?, either solid GRP or cored with balsa/divinicell etc ?.
Thinking of removing teak decking and what may lie beneath ?.

I have a specification copy for the later Nauticat 37 - but it does only describes the deck as "hand laid fibreglass". Nevertheless I'd be very surprised if it was not cored with either balsa or foam.

Solid fiberglass. Teak deck is screwed in, then the underside glasses over again. There are technicians and firms in the Baltic states which will scrape and replace 40 year old Nauticat teak without worrying for future deck leaks. Sorry i don’t have specifics but there are several youtube blogs of owner’s experience
