Once again I'm lucky no not have a barn or I would so buy this boat. I know wooden boats are the hardest to keep up but this thing's a beauty. When I was a kid my folks owned a resort in central MN. The rental boats were wooden but at the time that was pretty normal. I know my dad spent time every spring getting them ready for the season. I'm always falling in love with the ratty boats that need so much work. I like the name Whitecap too.
