You like fishing? I love boating and fishing. It is a vessel useto catch fish in the sea or river.d 
Love to fish. I have lake near my house. 
Boats used to always be mad eof wood but now these days due to price , durabilty and maintenance costs wood is usually no longer used.
I like a classic wood boat. I have thought about trying to make one. There are instructions on Youtube. 
Now these days boats are made of fiberglass or steel. Smaller boats under 25 meters are fiberglass and over 35 meters are usually made of steel.
Steal seams like a pain. 
Before the 1950's there was hardly any rules or standards for fishing boats. 
Interesting. I wis I lived in the 1950. Less government.
