The Value of Classic Wooden Boats: A glimpse at what's involved in owning a beauty!

So, how long do wooden boats last? As for longevity, we have done several first restorations of traditionally built wooden boatst hat were decades old. Many fiberglass yachts have needed restoration at half that age. The reality is that a properly maintained wooden boat can last 100 years, and still look beautiful for your great grandchildren.

Here is a good list, from WoodyBoater, when it comes to purchasing Classic boats. We would like to hear from you if you have any additional tips to add.

We often get asked what is considered a Classic boat. Hope this helps: A boat built between 1943 and 1975. Late Classic: A boat built 1976 to the year 25 prior to the current year. Contemporary: A wooden boat built within the last 25 years. We have friends who have boats old enough to be classic,s but it is fiberglass or aluminum.

Have you heard of "Cold Molded Bottoms?"
Well, we specialize in the cold molding process or replacing boat bottoms. Our process comprises of installing three to five layers of 3mm and 4mm BS 1088 Marine Plywood which is used to form the bottom. During the disassembly process we fully inspect and clean the wood including the frames, chines, gripe and stem, and recommend replacement if needed to a component in need of replacement. The new bottom cold molded shells are bedded in 3M 5200. After attaching with new fasteners, the bottom is sealed, primed, painted and ready to go, no soaking needed.

I know that was a lot of detail. But we know what we are doing. Give us a shout out!
