Default Re: What am I missing???

I find it very odd that when people are talking about boats costing less than $250K, wood is evil and to be avoided at all costs. However, when considering a multimillion dollar custom sportfisher, wood seems to miraculously lose all its evil properties.

Down the canal from me there is a house with two boats behind it: a current 25' SeaCraft and a 63' Paul Mann. The new SeaCraft is devoid of any wood whereas the Paul Mann is full of both plywood as well as planks over a wood frame. I have fairly strong suspicions about which boat will be in use longer.
