I thought that is what you would say. Thanks for your thoughts.

I think the only reasonable way to do that is like we do on the Sage- with a double layer of balsa with a ton of carbon on both sides. To do that on an existing boat you'd need to take off all the hardware and turn the boat upside down. A lot of work to just get rid of the post. Aside from that, the masthead rig on the M-17 has more compression than a fractional.

Jerry, I bet that looks great. Very hi-tech. When are you going to come up with a retro kit so I can get rid of the compression post inside of my M-17;-} < https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaig...

On my Sage, I layed up some carbon fiber cloth and then framed it out with
solid teak. Looks good.

Hi Thomas,
When I bought our M-15 the bottom hatch board was delaminating.
I bought some teak plywood (teak faces but something else as the core material), and made the new hatch boards. They lasted and looked very good.
Also used some of my left-over material to make my special lower hatch board that held my 7 X 50 binocular; marine radio, etc.
If the plastic is available in colors, and it can "look" like teak, well, why not....? No deterioration; no delamination; structurally stable; ....
Ciao,
Connie
I used this company for my Kingboard needs. They will cut any size in a number of colors and their prices are very reasonable. http://www.boatoutfitters.com/king-starboard.html Good luck with your projects. Presently I am also remaking the main hatch teak slides in Kingboard since I seem to be snapping off the nubs of teak on the inboard edges of them. This plastic is easy to shape and cut if you feed it slowly through a tablesaw blade. Work your projects so you don't have to glue anything. Advice on doing that, though, is available at this website. fair winds, Tom B <
