My Charvel 625c lived with me on my first boat for four years (kept in its
hard-shell case), and it never suffered a bit. But I would have to think
long and hard before taking my Everett aboard for more than a day or two,
and even then wouldn't as long as I have my Charvel. The heat and humidity
aboard vary entirely too much for hand-made, solid wood guitars, IMO. Martin
has a couple of Jimmy Buffet models which are intended to be boatable, but
I've not tried one yet.

I think the original post was about a wooden shell snare drum, though, which
I think would be much more forgiving of the boat environment, with attention
being paid to keeping it within the acceptable rh range.

I use the Planet Waves product on my Larrivee acoustic (pricy) and can
recommend it.

You take your Larrivee out on the boat?

I decided that the best protection for my Breedlove was the
purchase of a Takamine.
