NewOldWood Posted May 1, 2023 Author Share Posted May 1, 2023 This was gone a little longer than I thought it might be, but it's back. Lots to do. Spring is in the air, owners are anxious, and life gets hectic..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewOldWood Posted June 26, 2023 Author Share Posted June 26, 2023 Hectic might have been an understatement. I learned new skills that I shouldn't have had to.......but, it's done and it's gone! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
46 woodie Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 N.O.W., it's almost too beautiful to put it in water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewOldWood Posted June 29, 2023 Author Share Posted June 29, 2023 Already there! Was built to be used, it'll never see a boat show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
46 woodie Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 We are heading to Mystic CT, the weekend of July 20-23 for the National Woodie Club/Mystic Seaport, Woodie and Wooden Boat Show. The last time they had the show we couldn't believe how beautiful some of the boats were. I thought the maintenance on a station wagon was a lot, I'm told it's nothing compared to having a wooden boat in salt water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewOldWood Posted June 29, 2023 Author Share Posted June 29, 2023 Salt is tough on everything. A modern wood boat from a maintenance standpoint is not much different than a fiberglass boat. This boat has a watertight bottom, can be stored on a trailer, and is finished in an automotive clear coat, which will hold up just as well as the finish on your new car.
