    Too late for what?
    Wooden boats are like shingles, recurring, and often painful.

        I've had a picture like that on my 'fridge for years. 'Cept it's from the stern with the name clearly visible beneath the surface. "MOLLY BROWN". Get it?

              Hmmm. Looks like a noisy, ugly, unseaworthy fiberglass speed boat. It's exactly where it belongs.

                    Just in time I'd say.

                    Poor bugger. We tended to lose one or two every year in PNG when the rainy season started. A lot of plastic boats have holes in the transom very close to the waterline, whether for outboard motor controls, fish well pumps, cockpit scuppers whatever, lose a couple of inches of freeboard and down she goes.
