[QUOTE="fishinchef, post: 101664, member: 947"] There are a couple of reasons for the use of wood. Budget for one, most of the boats don't see salt water, and others don't have the ability to work with aluminum as easy as wood. The synthetic materials are expensive. Alot of your fiberglass boats are nothing but wood framed decks coated in fiberglass mat/resin. You could always go that route or even use all aluminum. It all depends on how your boat is stored, how much you use it, and of course as you mentioned the environment you use it in. [/QUOTE]
