Apart from all the Pros of this boat it should also be noted that, as with any vessel this age, there is some evidence of osmosis. Boats from this era have very thick hulls and it has no impact on the structual integrity of the boat. The osmosis can be easily remedied on an ongoing basis during the annual haulout.
