Did the 27 sports sometimes come with a teak deck insert?......and if so.....does anyone have pics or know how to accurately reproduce one?

Thanks,
Aaron

Hello Aaron

Everyone that I saw had a fake Teak type insert. i just sanded my down and then painted it to match the hull color.
Hope that helps

Thanks
Jim

Hey Jim....what do you mean by fake?......like airbrushed?

Thanks,
Aaron

Aaron,

It was like a pcs. of laminate with a clear coating over the top of it
I think it was epoxied on the deck and then with screws around the edge.
wasn't very thick,if i remember correctly
Mine cracked, so we sanded off the clear coating and then shot it purple to match the hull and I took the bubble vent off and put a flat hatch on it about the same size as the bubble

Hope that helps
Thank you
Jim

So maybe it was veneer with a varnish or something like that?

Was it one solid piece of wood or thin strips put together?

Did you get my e-mail?......it's ok if you don't want to....I just thought I'd ask.

Thanks,
Aaron

initially i thought it was teak, however i saw on years back and like mentioned above it appeard to be more of a laminate of some sort, looked pretty cool and classic to tell the truth, but the area it sits in isnt very "deep" at all which leads me to believe that is some type of laminate.... ive got that 27 magnum flyer, the one with the yellow mag on it, and it has the teak or whatever looking deck on it. i'll dig it up and scan it over to you but dont know how much it will really help

DJ Enterprises Services, Inc. distributes Flexiteek and would be able to make an insert that would look even better than the original. Their #is 423-255-2050

Magnum27,
Will DJ Enterprises Services cut out the insert , to the size of the original
A drop in?

Thank you
Jim

I'm sure they would as long as you make them a template and the thickness you need. Give them a call, they are located in Chattanooga TN.

Flexiteak.......?........sweet!

Now I just need to know the pattern or how it was layed out.

Thanks guys....
