I have no experience with wooden boats, or even boats with wooden decks. I've read lots of discussion about varnish vs. oils vs. proprietary treatments. However a topic I have not seen discussed at length is the "daily feeding" of on-board wood. I'm still in the planning/dreaming phase but there is definitely something attractive about nice teak decks and lots of wood below deck but as I look at boats on yachtworld.com and boats.com and a slew of other boat broker sites it seems that a lot of people have let their wood work go to pot which while good for me, as it brings down the price of the boats without compromising the structure (usually) and is something I feel more than capable of replacing/repairing, I simply can't understand...
So maybe that is just it... maybe I don't understand... is there something more required to maintain wood decks and interiors beyond a regular citrus wash and wax feeding?
