It's been a while since anyone posted on this thread but now I'm in the hot seat and thinking of buying this boat. Mudhake, would you mind sharing your impressions of it? I hear wildly differing opinions regarding a sealed wooden hull like this. I have friends who tell me that if the boat was really taken down to the wood, wetted with epoxy, then glassed then faired out with thick stuff that it was done right and should last. I've talk to surveyors on the phone who just laugh at the idea a boat can be treated like that. The guy wants to trade my '85 26' CC Seaway and some cash for this boat. I think it's gorgeous and my use is basically noodling around my part of the Cape. The owner talks it up but I'm in need of object 3rd party views. - Dave R
