questions on my f 36

I tried this in another thread but no one awnswered,can any one help me with these questions? pics are in my "adventure begins thread"

the 5.7s have just been added and not even started yet. One of the manifolds is cracked as it was left upside down for the winter outdoors, I am going to start trying to fit the manifolds today as the boat is at work now.

I am looking for interior pics, as my boat is bare/beaten and I need ideas on what to do any you all can post would be great, I have spent hours looking for 36' pics but have not found too many.

The two front windows are plexi and the outside is stained, how is best to clean? I have tried a few mild cleaners to no avail. The side windows are glass, does the plexi mean the fronts have been replaced?

I want to take the upper ( or rather the refinishers want) bumpers off the boat wood strip at the top with the chrome strip it is rough and also broken from a poor docking by the looks of it. Is this advisable?

the interior teak have issues and I am thinking to just replace the badly stained with new ply, where should I go for this? I have found exotic woods in a forum here and one other they are about $170 per 2x8 3/8 sheet, is this about right?

Also the rear hatch is awol, looking for a pic so I can remake one

I am feeling really lucky that I have an industrial shop to park this at and my own wood shop to work in, my neighbour at our complex does furnature restoration and they are on board to do the wood refinishing

thats it for now, hear it is 6 am on a Sunday and I am pumped to get at her!!

Plexiglass yellows with age in sunlight. There is no way to clean it. Not sure I would want anything but tempered glass in those front windows. We cleaned the teak inside our F-36 with TSP and then applied an oil with beeswax in it. This process was recommended by a local boat detailer and it turned out well. Ours was not 'badly stained'...just had some water streaks.

If you are looking for pics, search for your model in Yachtworld... probably dozens of examples to look at in there...

You might have learned of Exotic Woods from me... Another place in Toronto (closer to you) is Noah's http://www.noahsboatbuilding.com/noahmain/index.asp I have never really compared pricing - maybe you can play them off against each other for the best price for whatever you need.

If the teak is stained, what is it stained from??? Make sure you eliminate the cause before you worry about the symptom, or you will just be doing it all over again in the near future...
