I got a 58’ William Garden fall of 2020. Built 1952. Has had really good care. Total refit in 2002 ($750k+) and the previous owner had funds and able to keep her up. I had a 40 Year shipyard vet walk through it as well as a marine electrician. Got thumbs up, my friend said “you got nothing big to do for 10
Years, it’s been done”
Did hull and mechanical surveys in Port Townsend (Mecca for wood boats) All good…We are thrilled with our boat.

Yes, but you're in PNW. Cooler water, and not as hard on a wood boat as Socal. My last two boats were woodies, but our current (and probably last) is fiberglass, granted it's 2" thick, but still fiberglass.
