I'm refinishing the Exterior Wood on the back of the Cabin and on top of the Transom and Gunnel. Does anyone know for sure the type of wood on either location? Some say it's Teak around the Cabin and Mahogany on the Transom any help would be appreciated.

My 1987 is all the same, Teak. I have had all of mine down to bare wood. Can't say for later models but it wouldn't make sense to change woods that mated. There would be some noticable difference imo.

My '84 was teak throughout. The little triangles by the rear windows were teak verneer plywood. Stained? I think the interior was just oiled.

Thanks for all the comments. I did find that it's all Teak. My concern was on the wood that wraps around the back deck was gray and would not clean up like the rest of it. So I removed all the hardware (and it's a good thing I did) it was rotted out. Having it replaced, found Teak in a Lumber yard near me and took it to a friend of mine who has a wood shop. The rest of the teak is in pretty good shape and is looking good. I have 2 coats on and I'm going to do another 2.
