[QUOTE="harleydoc, post: 297310, member: 10609"] One way to look at it is like this. Most of these old tins boat we are working on and replacing wood is over 25 years old with the wood for the factor that was not sealed the way we are sealing wood now. 25 years is a long time I don't see where it would be the same price metal vs wood. The metal would last forever but Do you really need that Much time. I think wood would be just fine and a lot easyer to work with and if you mess up a cut a lot less money to buy new wood vs metal. And for carpet. Carpet is for the house leave it at that. I hate carpet in a boat it holds water. [/QUOTE]
