I'm sure people have seen my looking for teak strips in the WTB section. I appreciate the responses enormously.
That's handled, now I need to know what screws to attach them with? Do I use machine screws and washers/nuts or just sheet metal/wood screws?
Also on some hulls there are 3 holes per strip and some there are 4. Which is correct or my CVX-16 SS hull?
Here is what my hull looks like now (without the clear grip tape I had on it before...)

I had a Celebrity with teak stripes, railings, hatches, door and trim.
They were counter sunk with stainless steel self tapping screws
I would seal old screw / rivet holes and drill new ones into wood and deck.
Unless there a way to line up holes in deck with new wood holes ?

I know, thats a tough one. Id love to just go with oversize screws in the OG locations.

I see no reason you couldn't go with a larger size SS screw in the original holes. You could make up a little peanut butter the holes shut, or use similiar compound. Two suggestions for you, you can use a driver after pre drilling, but hand tighten the screws to final position. And two, make sure the teak is cut to accept the bore and countersink of the screw you plan to use. For cabinet work I use bits that are the bit, countersink, and stop in one, perfect every time.
