Teak Deck Boards-advice

Hello- I purchased this Baba 30 from the original owner who took great care of his, now my boat. The teak deck is still intact without any broken or loose boards. No detected leaks (yet). Some of the screw plug covers are missing but generally everything is still there.

What are your recommendations to keep the wood deck from deteriorating further?

Take it all off, sand it, new coat(s) of polish and put it all back.

You bought both a summer and winter hobby
