re: Tell Me About Wood Boat Maintenance

ksanders,Phil,

Most wood boats need to be stored IN the water. Plywood and a few others are exceptions. If a planked wood boat is hauled it must be relaunched in a month or so as the planking will shrink up, the seams will open up and when launched will leak a lot for a day or two even though properly caulked and painted.

ksanders,

See your PM for my phone # for more info on wood boats.
