Should I buy wooden boat.

Looking for advice preferably from experienced owners.

I’m 65 years old am an excellent carpenter with a lot of experience refinishing wood.

I’m an avid boater with years of experience.

The boat I’m interested in looking at is by all accounts beautiful, finished and upgraded in every respect.

It’s 42’ long.

Always said I’d never have a wooden boat because the up keep just to much work.

But is it really?

She’ll be under cover but used in the PNW winters.

Thanks for your responses.
