I have a memory or Teak Oil having a wonderful smell and it reminding me of a good earthy smell. The last two years when I cover the inside with it the cabin almost reminds me of Motor Oil.

Is there a better brand I should be using?

The kind you buy at West marine has a real nice coconut smell. The kind I buy at Home Depot for 1/4 the price has no smell.

The kind I just bought yesterday, at West Marine, smells of Motor Oil, not Coconut.

Not Happy..

Watco at Lowes and HD cost less, smells like linseed oil until dry, and holds up much better than any "marine" product I have used.
