Steel boats are usually thought to be less trouble than wooden ones. Oak is one of the worst woods to work with. It is hard, and contains a lot of acids, which attack steel and iron fixings.I think treated wood. I have not seen @Turboman put a new chassis on the boat yet
LOVE IT !!!!!

The least troublesome material of all to work with is plastic. Coincidentally, just what a Defender dash is made of.
That would be me, I have had several!

They are OK if you have the tools, and skills, to work on them, which I do.
And it is important to buy the right kind of construction. Those Fairmiles, ex-services double and triple diagonal construction launches and rescue boats are a complete nightmare to work on, which is what they are always available cheap.
If you get carvel or clinker built, ideally teak or iroko, or larch planked, there is a good chance you will be able to repair it.
The worst place to leave them is in a car park, or anywhere else they will dry out.
& wood worm can swim either
Cor u bois are hitting him hard
the work your doing looks great but most on this forum use a Landy for what ther meant for and polished wood won’t last long, from the tights seals of the doors to the dogs jaws

Nope, I used ss nails.
