Default do wooden boats leak?

How much is a wooden boat allowed to leak (plank on frame) and be
considered normal or healthy?


It depends. Has the boat been in the water for a while? Then the
seams should leak very little or none. If it is a sail boat, the
topside planks will weep when the boat is heeled and that area is in
the water.

If the boat has been dry for a while it may well (probably will) leak
like a sieve for 2-3 days until the planks swell.
