At some stage I will have to face the cabin sole paint project. New W42 owners were give two options for the cabin sole;
1. A full teak and holly sole at extra cost.
2. Drop in floorboards (teak and holly) which fit into the molded inserts in the hull liner.

The second option, which I have, leaves a painted white strip between the floorboards which I think looks a bit weird.

The PO was kind enough to include a complete set of new drop in boards with the boat. These have been languishing in my apartment for some time.

My two questions;
1. Any ideas on how to deal with the fiberglass strips between the boards (paint, what color, teak strip glued on, etc)?
2. What type of varnish for the new floorboards?
