[Alberg30] Interior Wood

[Alfredo]

Dave, I agree 110 % with Brian’s comment. The oiled interior is easy to
maintain and it gives the boat a warm inviting feeling. Varnished wood
make it shiny and hard looking. Besides the size of the project, think
of the resale value.

May the force be with you.
