RE: Do you have a Woody?

Woodsong,

I have had several woodies, only one really big one though.. a 1969 gb 36. The hull was rock solid, though the cabins on gb woodies can have their issues, mainly around the windows and at the wall deck transitions. I think the woodies have a better feel than the glass versions... but the maintenance is MUCH greater.

Oh,* I almost forgot ... I have a woodie right now.. although it's tucked away in the barn awaiting restoration, I have been working on a 1959 21' Chris* sea skiff.* The only way I will own a woodie anymore is if it can be trailered and stored inside.

And .. although I know it is not right... the smell of a rotting wood boat still smells better than fiberglass
