I posted this on iBoat and thought I'd give it a try here.


Years ago my wife and I owned a 28' Luhrs with a glass hull and wood
topsides. Eventually, replacing rotted wood in the cabin sides got to be too
much of a chore and we sold the boat and took up camping.

Having our fill of that,we want to get back to boating. Our only requirement
is that the boat be fiberglass with no wood.


Well, I've seen many, many OLD fibreglass boats, with wood transoms,
stringers, etc. that were surely rotten, but they're still floating.

But if you don't like encapsulated wood, how about aluminum? Many great
boats are welded aluminum, and they last forever.
