FAQs
When is Bottom Replacement necessary?
We work on wooden boats representing many brands, ages and sizes, and at some point in the lifecycle of a wooden boat it becomes necessary to replace at least some of the wooden components of the vessel. The best rule of thumb is if you see an issue, it’s better to go ahead and get it taken care of rather than allowing it to compound and become a bigger problem. If your deck is starting to leak, you feel soft spots in the wood or the boat has been neglected for some time, it’s probably time to take on the replacement project.
What is involved in wooden boat bottom replacement?
When replacing any wooden component of a vessel, we seek to perform a replacement which will look and feel as comparable to the original wood used as possible. The process of replacement depends on the type of wood used in the original construction of the boat, and we work to ensure a comparable or the same type is used for the replacement. Our team will assess the extent of the damage and determine how much wood needs to be replaced and then get to work crafting the ideal piece to be installed. From there, we install and then perform extensive sanding and shaping to ensure perfect fit and function.
