Which part of the horrible experience would you like to know about. Want
to
buy a nice boat with a brand new deck?

Just give us the gory details (and what you replaced the teak with).

Removed the teck (actually Narra in my case) with an air chisel. Removed
all the screws ( about a thousand), filled the holes. Filled and faired,
primed
and then painted and applied non-skid.

I'm considering removing the teak deck from my cabintop/flybridge
because I seem to have leaks in the deck, and rainwater drips out of
the windowframes onto the galley counter.

If I do remove the teak, I'd need to replace it with something
waterproof and non-skid.

Paint it and apply non-skid.
