Ahhhhh good one. So all we had Tim do was paint the teak with the Awlgrip the came Oyster White as the smooth parts of the deck.

So the answer is it is the teak!

Here's another money saver those handrails aren't the stainless ones you'd find in a boat catalog, but simply handicap handrails for the bathroom. IIRC $30 ea at the local Lowes or Home Depot.

Also the flat tracks where the crew sits are the original stock Express 27 jib tracks also. New tracks run $60-$100 each.
