I owned a small fishing boat 
 awesome,  a fishing vessel is a boat or ship used to catch fish in the sea
 I got tuna and salmon
different types og  vessels are used in commercial, artisanal and recreational fishing
I enjoy recreational fishing
 there are currently (2004) four million commercial fishing vessels.Maybe yours is among :)
That is a large number of vessels providing fish protein to the world
1.3 million of these are decked vessels with enclosed areas.
Mine is a small fishing boat for recreation and not for commercial fishing
wood is not often used now because it has higher maintenance costs and lower durability.
