2000 CONQUEST 28 Cabin Sole Wood: Veneer or Solid

Postby TDSurf » Thu Sep 28, 2023 3:12 pm

I have just purchased a 2000 Conquest 28--my biggest Boston Whaler boat yet--and I am excited. The previous owner had the all-too-well-known problem of water intrusion into the teak and holly cabin sole. Before I start sanding and refinishing:

Q1: is the teak and holly cabin sole on a 2000 CONQUEST 28 made or solid wood or is veneer wood?


Q2: if the wood is just a veneer, do I need to be concerned about sanding through the veneer layer?
