hi all, i took my floorboards off, last year, sealed the underside, since they were the raw teak/holly, and then didn't do anything with them. does anyone have a drawing of the boards, for a 1986 so when i give them to the wood worker, i can label them based on a map? if not, i'll bring them back to the boat, put them on, and make my own map.
thanks

Yes, there is a drawing of the boards right in the boat manual: page 50
http://c34.org/wiki/images/b/b1/1988-C34-Owners.pdf
The brochures also have it: pages 2 & 3

You really don't need a map, 'cuz there are no two identical pieces.
page 50? i don't see any boards on there. thanks
The manual page 50 shows the "floor plan." You HAVE the floor boards, not too hard to figure it out.
The brochure shows the "cuts" pretty clearly.
Becki,
You've lost me here, what's the purpose of the map and why are you taking your floorboards to a woodworker, are you having new ones made?
thanks Stu, now i have to figure out how to get that long board back to the boat
Becki,
When I had the new sole made for my 1986 C34, I had the teak/holly ply, 2 4X8, sheets sent to a lumber yard and I brought the old pieces to the yard for the master millwright to use as the template, so all lines match up. There is a multi step procedure to finish the wood, most important to seal bottom and sides, then top. If you need any advice, contact me. Good luck.
thanks. i sealed the underside but now, i'm going to have someone else do the top side.
Becki,
on the top side, I finished with 3 coats of varnish and 5 coats of poly. Still looks new after 14 years.
i could but i don't have the space. i thought i would.
any idea how to get the board under the table out? i can't seem to lift the table base to save my life. thanks
My table base is screwed down.
I used west system epoxy on the top side.
really? i used west system resin on the underside but didn't know about using it on topside
In my opinion, I would not recommend West System on top of floorboards "alone". Epoxy does not have UV protection. As much as you think down below has no UV exposure, not true! You will get fading in parts over time. If you use epoxy, you need to topcoat it with at least three coats of polyurethane varnish.

Here is a link that explains epoxy and varnish.
