A boater hasn't lived until they have taken a chainsaw to a 1' by 1' by 20' hunk of deadwood complete with bronze lags. [emoji120]

It's "wood boats" not wooden boats.
In Australia and New Zealand they are "timber" boats. After living here for 35 years, its one of the few Aussie terms I haven't picked up. It is still wood to me, although I occasionally use wooden as well.
AusCan,
Yup "timber" boats works for me same as wood.

Works well in high latitudes. You have a perforated, leaky hull in 18 months in southern waters as the bugs exploit every small crack in the AF paint. Unless you glass the hull, heaven forbid.
That's not entirely true.
Ours has spent her last 40 years working working waters 10 degree to 27 degree and no signs of any putty bug or worm.
3 years between lifts at times, usually 18mths to 2years.
10 to 27, near frigid.
I'm talking Palm Beach, in the water year 'round. In your units, 25 to 34 deg C, 10 months of the year. Lots of bad life here...
I'm talking latitude 10 to 27
For you that's Florida south to Venezuala
Most of her life she worked as a gulf of carpentaria prawn trawler which is around 12.
Nothing but paint.Impressive. And nothing but paint between wood and this warm water?
