Look near the base of the mast and you will see a hint of the non skid that they lay the teak and holly over ... and then screw through each teak piece into that base floor. Bill did a nice retoration of that non skid surface to fill the screw holes.
On Vee Jay the holly turned black but not soft ... it would not oxalic acid bleach out so I painted those strips a nearly close color match before finish coats of varnish. I had drilled those drain holes 20 years earlier.
On Vee Jay 2, the POs didn't realize they had to drill drain holes and the holly rotted. I used a dremel a la dentist to excavate the rot and filled it with wood putty ... as it turned out pretty dumb as that shrinks. Will figure out how to make that look better in May. Fall back is to do a Bill job and just rip it out. But hey how great does the floor of a Head have to be???
