Faux Teak

Capt. Tyler Anderson

68’ Weaver Jaruco

Skill Level- 4 star

How do you like the teak transom on the Jaruco? You almost have to look over the transom with a magnifying glass to distinguish the artistic paint job of Randy Varney who specializes in teak painting and transom art. Captain Tyler Anderson said they decided to do the teak paint because it weighs lighter than teak, takes less time to complete and the ease of repairing. Next time you see the Jaruco take a look. You’ll agree the line between teak and teak paint is getting blurred as marine artists continue to push the envelope between reality and impressionism.
