    I'm doing some cabinet work on my 1998. Does any one know what Post used as its interior teak finish on its later boats. Almost seems like a 2 part to me, but I'm no expert.

    Beau,

    I know your Post is a lot younger than 1988 and most likely has a different interior finish.

    This might be helpful.

    below was cut and pasted from a 1988 46' Post owners book:
    The book appears as though some of the info is for older 43 and 46 Posts's.
    The book does not reference the 50 Post. I am not sure when the 50 started production.

    FROM BOOK:

    " Paint 43' and 46' "

    Entire Exterior of boat is Interlux Exterior Gloss White #87, Mixed W/Ivory Interlux#224 (approx 8 oz/Gal.) to match Gelcoat.

    Inside Colors are tinted using the Z-spar Gloss#100. Wood finished with Interlux#60 Rubbed effect Varnish.

    Stained Pilot Houses, Doors & Drawers are McCloskey's Tungseal, Walnut Penetrating Wood Stain or Dupont Barnwood Stain ##1045C.

    Exterior - - - Bridge Parts & Moulding around shelter are Teak finished with Dolfinite#110 Spar Varnish.

    Teak treated with Tip-Top Teak (or equal) Mfg. by Tripple T. Enterprises, Inc., Palm Gardens Fla.

    Engine room - - Interlux #289 Miami Tan & 50% Z-Spar #105

    Boot Stripe - - Awl Grip Colors to Suit from chart

    Teak Interiors are sealed with Interlux sanding Sealer #X9297 then finished with #60 Interlux Rubbed Varnish

    Thx RT

    I'll try some of those combinations on a test piece. It looks and feels like it might be a verathane?
    The 50 made its debut in 1989 I believe.

    Not to Hijack your post but a quick question about the cabinet finish also. My finish is in great shape but seems to get cloudy. If I wipe it hard like buffing it comes back to a great shine but in a few days it is cloudy again. Almost like there is a wax on the top of doors and panels. Any idea on hou to remove this and bring back to a nice shinny luster. My boat is a 1998 47' Post. Thanks for the help!

    Thanks Ruby

    I have the proper stain, but what is the clear finish? Is it a urethane? or a varnish?

    I'd have to look, if it's super shiny I may try interlux perfection clear, it's a 2 part.

    it is very shiney, My egg was a definite satin varnish. BTW, this new sign on is the pits, Carl? My system erases everything, you're new program makes me go thru more key strokes?

    I have a few small scrap pieces of teak that you can sand and use as test pieces to check color and shine before you do the pieces that will be put in place

    Thanks Ruby, I have a few scraps also. I thought someone might have known off hand. Is there a 50 in your future?
