: So Kim- do you have your answers yet?

: Benefit of one over the other? NEITHER, DEPENDING ON YOU
: Would a newbie rather go CF or Wood? DEPENDS ON THE NEWBIE
: Which would last longer? EITHER ONE, IT DEPENDS
: Is CF going to be lighter? NOT NECESSARILY
: Price? ADVANTAGE: WOOD. (BUT NOT NECESSARILY) :-)

: Of course, you're on a forum that historically has served builders
: that use wood for the majority of the projects discussed here.
: Build one of each, and tell us how it all works out!! :-)

Sorry for the late reply. This is about my umpteenth time to write a post to finish this topic. Forum software has plenty of bugs. I will abbreviate my reply.

Got my answer. Wood is the way to go. Maybe a cf coaming.

Kim or kiim
