Not a wrap, hand painted. You're saying that was painted to look like wood? The faux Teak technique has been around for 10 - 15 years now. https://www.everettnauticaldesigns.com/faux-teak/

A friend has a kayak and rowing shell crafted in that style. Real wood artfully assembled.
I am..........disturbed.

Frankly don't see the attraction. Can't fish off the deck, getting wind-whipped and eating bugs at speed, limited seating.
Pretty to look at, but nah.

Well, I just got done smearing all the rivet heads on the bottom and sides of my '73 18' flat bottom Jon (Lowe) boat with a silicon sealant.. Now maybe I won't have to work the little bilge pump I installed 5 years ago so often. So there! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. My boat is just plain ugly, but if it floats..... I gloats. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/nYUlfxd.jpg)

It sure is pretty. But how does she fish?
I don't even see a sonar screen?

Flats boat with no tabs? Seems odd to me unless they didn’t reinstall after the paint. Hull must have a lot of hook built in.
I’m working on a little 16’ Jon boat with ‘96 25hp Johnson I picked up for $700 on a gamble I could get it to run. Only 4 or 5 slightly leaking rivets and I got the motor running with new plugs and a carb clean, missing a couple non-essential parts that I have ordered for $60. I’ll probably enjoy this boat more than the 22’ bay boat with 250 hp and all the goodies sitting in the driveway…sometimes simple is better
