We re-caulked our teak decks last winter using a Fein to strip out the old caulk. I found variable speed very useful in controlling the tool and limiting collateral damage. Interestingly, my wife would use it at a different speed than I would for the same job. IMHO I would buy the variable speed model.
  
   We used the 4mm reefing hook, the small rasp attachement, and a carpet cutting blade up against the fiberglass since the gap was very narrow. See http://www.svyohelah.com/TheBoat/DeckOverhaul/DeckCaulking.html
  for pictures and more opinions.
