[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 373335, member: 13599"] okay, the [b]boat hull[/b] itself will last forever !!!! now, the "soft goods" - - - cushions, seats, ropes, plastics, etc. will NOT last for long in direct sunshine. Some states are worse than others. Florida, for example, anything painted or fabric really takes a beating. I still have our family tin boat that my Dad bought back in 1959. It has seen a few trailers, many wood seats, a few steering cables, a few gas tanks, countless ropes, wood paddles, yada yada yada. So, whatever you can store in your garage, that would be the best idea. Whatever items you can fabricate out of aluminum sheet metal vs wood, go for it. My 1959 14' Crestliner. [/QUOTE]
