Fiberglass over Wood For Sale

Ocean Marine offers fiberglass-over-wood commercial fishing boats for sale, combining the structural strength of a wooden core with the low-maintenance exterior of a fiberglass hull. This composite construction method was popular in the mid-20th century and many of these classic vessels remain in active commercial service.

Fiberglass-over-wood construction was pioneered in the 1950s and 1960s as boatbuilders sought to combine the proven structural properties of traditional wooden frames with the corrosion resistance and reduced maintenance demands of fiberglass sheeting. When properly maintained, these vessels offer excellent longevity and a rugged, dependable fishing platform.

Prospective buyers should conduct thorough surveys to assess the integrity of the wooden core, particularly in areas prone to moisture intrusion. Our brokerage team has experience evaluating fiberglass-over-wood vessels and can connect buyers with qualified surveyors.
