Brian,

Your platform is OEM. My friends "81 looks just like yours. My '83 has the narrower slats (More of them). Must have made the change in 82-83.

I've got 'em taken apart and now about to head out to HD and West Marine and pick a few things to get the job done.
My buddy TScott suggested I take some pic's as I go through the process, I post 'em after the job's complete

Hey Footer, I used to use a product called Teak Shield on my platform on my 88 prostar. This stuff is GREAT! Its not a teak oil, and its not a varnish. Its simply a sealer that you apply in as many coats as you want, and it doesn't have to be recoated for up to a year! This is truly an amazing product! And its made in Jacksonville. These people will direct ship to you I think. Hell, they may even remember me from when I used their products. I promise you, you'll love it!

Restart thread on teak repair. My 83 platform was missing the rearmost piece when I bought it. What should I do to repair and where should I look for wood? I really want to bring it back without having to get a whole new one.

Contact Teak World in Lebanon TN. They have anything you may need. Service was great. Alot of peeps on here have used them.

We needed one replacement slat for our 190 platform and price was very good.

I just received my replacement parts today from Teakworld. Looking good so far, I still have to oil and install. Price, you ask? Unbelievably low! Shipping from UPS in Tennessee to South Carolina was low. I am really pleased with both the product and the service.
