My Excalibur has the original teak floor, and I am tired of the "dirty" feeling it has on my bare feet. I would like to maybe go with some type of rubber flooring. I really dont want to glue it down, because I dont want to ruin the teak. Is there someway I could install the rubber floor onto a piece of foam that I could make it removable? The foam would maybe help keep it level too, as the teak planks are not 100% flat across the floor? Any thoughts?

you can use a 2 step teak cleaner that should get rid of most or all of your stains and lighten up the teak for a nice gold color when you oil it and then a sanding to level out the floor , as far as the gaps between the planks black silicone is used to seal the gaps. Any flooring placed over the teak should be removable or allow the wood to breathe so it can dry if it gets wet.
