Wooden Powerboats

However at the expense of intensive use of multilayered polymeric coverings wood manages to be well preserved, therefore at proper care lacquered boats for a long time keep excellent appearance.

Classic design of wooden boats dictates the presence of a transom with a reverse angle of inclination, so the vast majority of models are equipped with rowing shafts. The latter are usually associated with very powerful stationary motors, as high speed is an essential feature of a wooden gentleman's boat with analogue devices and a rare kind of steering wheel.

As a piece exclusive product, wooden boats are in demand among collectors, lovers of retro style and are often used as tenders on superyachts. Of course, such wooden toys made of mahogany and teak are worth several times more than their standard fiberglass congeners.
