The boats that I was refering to are one the Atlantic,the fishermen fill them with fresh water when on land.From what I've read the inland boats were built from spruce and pine but the ocean going ones were built from oak and teak.Also I know salt is used as a preservative but only with high concentrations.People here pay more for wooden boats used in fresh water than salt.I just figured that there are way more critters that like wood in salt water.Jim B.
