Breaks to easy and rots. Swells, shrinks, fastners corrode, ect.
I restored an old 1930's Garwood Sweet 16 once, spent a year on it.

I like working with metal more than any other boat material.

Maybe the planks don't rust but the fasteners sure as hell do!! The
Commander loved to use common iron because the rusting made the
fasteners swell and tighten themselves. Only problem; the rusting never
stopped. It slowed down but never stopped. Makes restoration a major
PITA
