Don't know how he came about the conclusion, but I remember reading an
article a while back about the owner of a wooden boat, he claimed that it
was no more work maintenance-wise, than fiberglass. I still find this
difficult to believe.

Wooden boat fanatics are just that: fanatics. They love wood & boats, and
when combined . . .

That said, there is no way in hell that a boat with a wood hull and/or deck
will require no more maintenance than a similar glass boat. He probably had
an older wooden boat he wanted to sell. :-)
