HOLLYWOOD,
AFTER 10 or 15 minutes aboard this boat plastic boats won't even exist for at least 10 minutes. And they may look substandard for a long time.
Eric - I doubt Hollywood is trying to decrease high-end comment on the obvious quality of that or some other of the well constructed and beautifully maintained wooden boats. I know that I am not. But, what I do mean in agreement with Hollywood's post is that for "pleasure" boating... the many levels of ongoing maintenance factors required on such a great wooden craft can simply remove the pleasure factor - unless of course money for outsourced maintenance is not an issue. - Art
