However, the boat’s age and galvanized fastenings present ongoing challenges for restoration. The tour begins in the wheelhouse, where recent updates have been made, before moving to the fo'c'sle, where Peter is designing a functional nav station. He discusses the boat’s storage improvements, changes to cabinetry, and upcoming projects such as enhancing the galley and upgrading the aft cabin. While Peter enjoys the aesthetic and functional upgrades, he stresses that maintaining a wooden boat is more than just cosmetic—it requires addressing structural issues to ensure long-term seaworthiness. He touches on concerns about the boat’s foundational strength, planking, and future repairs that will need attention. 0:00 Living Aboard a 1953 Wooden Boat | Full Restoration Tour Begins 0:28 The Truth About This Classic Monk Cruiser | Good, Bad & Ugly Revealed 0:39 Exterior Walkthrough | 1953 Monk Tri-Cabin Wooden Boat (Pacific Northwest) 1:09 Anchor, Chain & Windlass Setup | What Actually Works on a Wooden Boat 1:40 Fiberglass Over Wood Decks | Smart Upgrade or Future Nightmare? 2:19 Wheelhouse Rot & Leaks | How Water Destroys Wooden Boats 4:14 Single-Handing a Classic Motor Cruiser | Design Details That Matter 8:15 Failing Transom & Teak Rails | What Can Be Saved — What Can’t 9:00 Removing Fiberglass to Save a Wooden Boat | Major Cockpit Rebuild 20:33 The Real Problem With Old Wooden Boats | Frames, Fasteners & the Bottom
