I just put one coat on at the end of the day while cleaning the boat. Never really thought about the beginning of the season though. I guess I'll put on one.
Sorry about the indirect answer.

What grit of sandpaper do you guys use to sand your teak down with? Do you scuff it up or do you sand it down so it's smooth? I have to do mine this month.

I sand it with 80 grit then like 220 with a palm sander, then wash it to get all the dust off it, then wash it with teak cleaner stuff (I can't remember the name) let it dry. Then lut 3 coats of teak oil on it. Make sure you let it dry in between each oil. If you have any loose peices on it use Gorilla glue.
