Hi everybody, Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
I have owned several boats some of which had wooden decks and upolstery panels. Each had issues with wood rotting, even the newer Rinker I just sold. I vowed to avoid wood!!
But I couldnt pass up this 87 Sea Ray 17 ft well preserved boat.
So I need to figure out why the wood in this boat is like new and how to keep it that way. I fear you are going to say in must be kept indoors.
I often notice the heat that developes inside (under morning cover) when in the sun and that with moisture I suspect could be the culprit?
I would hope that it getting wet on a regular basis is ok...being a boat!?
Thanks
Pete
