houses from the 1950s (and earlier) were like that - look at them now. Boats have gone exactly the same way. It reflects Our vast increase in wealth and the expectations it generates.
The point is that cutting and shaping that pile of T&G and trim would take more skill and time than assembling the CNC cut components of a modern interior.
Your probably right…..I guess I was musing on the yachts of the1970 were the factory sold a basic boat ready for the owner to complete as the man hours fitting out was were the costs mountedup

Your photos remind me of my family's first big boat - a converted lifeboat, but lined with planking. Don't know if it was T&G, but I recall very neat work, with the upper edge of each plank neatly shaped with an ogee moulding.
Did you get a free hair shirt with the plans.
