the boat is made of wood OT....i've had the pleasure of owning both,and operating them in all kinds of terrain(what i believe they were made for)...I have heard of a operator of a wooden being killed by a tree spearing through the wood,never heard this of a metal though...most,and I stress most person's that are restoring the bombardiers never take them far off the beaten trail(and in reality I don't blame them)who wants to ruin a new paint job or wood work/body work,or for that matter throw in a moose or a load of fish....Where these machines not designed for that puropse though,they were the first school buses,cargo haulers/trail blazers of unchartable terrain...
